| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
It has good torque and CVT is very smooth.Not feeling the transmission shift takes some getting use to also the sound as it sounds like a regular automatic that is slipping. Lifetime powertrain warranty was a big factor in purchasing this vehicle. see full Dodge Caliber review |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Whats not to like? Plenty of power(172HP), silky smooth cvt2, lifetime powertrain warranty. 4 distinct driving variations. 1)full auto 2)auto-stick auto shift 3)auto-stick manual shift 4)auto-stick to full auto acceleration slip/downshift trick* see full Dodge Caliber review |

brutal performance. Weak engine, terrible transmission. sluggish response. Poor acceleration. Pack a lunch for the quarter mile run. see full Dodge Caliber review |
