Dodge Caliber 2007
Compact >
By Benjamin Cyr - (2007-05-03)
Let’s forget the Dodge Neon (oups, I meant to say the SX. 2.0) and welcome with a drum roll the all new Dodge Caliber. This is quite a drastic, but a welcome change in size, design and direction. The new compact has a lot going for it.

Dodge Caliber 2007
By Benjamin Cyr
There are various neat touches like the gigantic glove compartment with a refrigerator to keep you’re bottles cold, detachable interior lights that double as flashlights and a main console with a 115 volt plug-in. Also of note, the 450 watt Boston Acoustics sound system.
The lack of security features on some versions must be noted. The ABS is optional on the SE, same with side air bags. |
