Dodge Caliber – Christian Wardlaw’s Opinion:
Our fully loaded Caliber R/T AWD, with a sticker price of nearly $24,000, did not strike me as a good value. I don’t like the poor visibility, tight rear leg room, excessive hard plastic, road noise, droning CVT and four-cylinder engine, and body roll. I like the tall seating position, excellent ergonomics, handsome gauge cluster, five-door hatchback utility, all-wheel-drive system, unique storage solutions. Clearly, I’m not overwhelmed by this new car from Dodge. At a lower price, perhaps it makes a better case for itself. At this price, it doesn’t.
