2008 Dodge Caliber Review

The 2008 Dodge Caliber has changed little for the coming model year. The four-door wagon holds five and is available in four trims with an MSRP range of $14,000 to $20,495. The SE and SXT are equipped with a 1.8-liter I4 producing 148 horsepower while the R/T FWD and R/T AWD use a 2.4-liter I4 putting out 172 hp.

The exterior appearance of the Caliber remains aggressive for a smaller vehicle, a mood enhanced by the big halogen headlights. The body colored bumpers give the vehicle a neatly modular appearance. Inside the cabin has more space than you might imagine and a nice set of up-to-date amenities like a hands-free system, power outlets, and even a beverage cooler. Drivers who opt for the Sport Appearance Interior will pick up a two-tone color scheme that uses inserts of either red, orange, or blue on the upholstery, center stack, and instrument panel.

The company makes an odor and stain-resistant fabric available on the SXT and RT - a nice option for families on the go. Multiple power outlets and a backseat the folds flat to enhance cargo room are also eye-catching options. Additionally the floor of the cargo space can be taken out for washings and has a weight-bearing capacity of 250 lbs.

The 2008 Dodge Caliber offers a comprehensive array of airbags as well as crush zones engineered into the body. The vehicle earned a five-star crash test rating and features system for stability control and tire pressure monitoring as well as ABS. In general you're looking at a well-rounded, reasonably priced family wagon with spacious carrying capacity and a sound record for safety and stability.
