Re: Does anybody like the Caliber?

I had one as a company vehilce the first year they came out 07 I think. Well any how I ran up 100K on it in just 2 years. I had the RT model that has a much better engine then the base model. It had the autostick so you could also manualy shift it which made it accelerate allot better. It wore tires uneven and the Firestone Firehawks arent cheap! The car had quite a bit of road noise but handled very well with the RT suspension package. The Transmision went at 99K. I wouldn't buy another CV transmsion vehilce. I didn't like the way it performed.Over all I liked the Caliber RT its has nice style! (Way better looking the the Jeep Compass) It's twin brother. Seating was comfy and visability was good.
My advice> Buy the RT model and sell it before the drivetrain waranty runs out.
I have a 09 Dodge Journey now with 99K on it and it has been very good!
