If you are considering a Dodge vehicle, whether for fun or as a reliable family car, you should check out the Caliber. Find out the basics about this model.
If you are searching for a used car that was made in the last few years, a Caliber may be your best bet. This can be considered either a family vehicle or a sporty car,
depending on the one you get. Dodge decided to replace the Neon with this model, and though it has gotten overall good reviews, there are still relatively few on the road. So if you want a reliable vehicle that you do not see everywhere, you should consider this option.
One of the main selling points of this car is that it features a continuously variable transmission. This means that the gears can shift quickly and smoothly, so you do not even feel it when shifting. The result is a smooth ride even when you are going from one gear into another, which you would normally be able to feel while driving. Therefore, you will probably find it quite easy to start driving faster than you assumed you were, possibly resulting in accidental speeding, so keep this is mind before buying. However, most drivers appreciate the continuously variable transmission, as well as the all-wheel drive.
One of the most basic versions of this Dodge vehicle is the SE, which features front-wheel drive. You can add features like continuously variable transmission, air conditioning, and power locks and windows for extra fees, but they do not come standard. If you want these features without paying for each one, the SXT might be a better choice. It comes with air conditioning, including a beverage cooler in the glove compartment, keeping both you and your drink cool. You can also get aluminum wheels, fog lights, and cloth seats that match the trim of the interior. The R/T model has more power, as well as chrome handles and side molding. It also has the option of a steering wheel wrapped in leather, as well as radio controls on the wheel so you do not have to stretch out your arms to change the station or volume. However, the sportiest and most powerful version is the SRT4, which is often best for performance and car shows.
The first year that the Caliber was sold was 2007, which means the first one came out at the end of 2006. Therefore, you have a range of years when looking for a used Dodge of this type, as you can get one that is barely used and just a year old, or you can get a great deal on one from 2007. As long as it is in good shape and has low mileage, this can be considered a reliable car that many owners are happy with.
If any of the versions of this type of Dodge appeal to you, it is time to get to a dealership to find out more. Before you go, though, it is helpful to find out the specifications, options, and reviews among owners. You should also get an idea of what you will pay for this vehicle, as the final cost may range depending on the dealership, the year, and the features you want to add.
