The 2007 Dodge Caliber is a terrific idea, but the price sold us on the car. Dodge will ask less than $14,000 for a base version, with prices rising from there depending on equipment and engine choice. And that entry model is decently equipped, too, allowing Dodge to address growing interest in small, fuel-efficient cars with a larger and more useful vehicle than some competitors offer. Choose from SE, SXT, or RT trim when the Caliber goes on sale this spring, or wait for the rumored SRT-4 performance model which is due later in the year. Any way you go, you’ll get an appealing five-door hatchback with plenty of space inside, and those living in cold-weather climates will appreciate the optional all-wheel-drive system.
