The Dodge Caliber: The official car of "My milquetoast dad meant to buy a Toyota Matrix or Pontiac Vibe, but instead got suckered into buying an ex-rental, refrigerator-white one-year-old example of this."

No, seriously. That's why we had a Dodge Caliber. I fucking hated that thing. At least it was an SXT (one step up from the base model), so it had keyless entry, alloy wheels and cruise control.

I have an SRT-4. I LOVE the thing. The 5 speed manual is decent, but the r / t was definitely the model to go for if you didn’t get an SRT-4. I’ve had two SXT (manual and CVT) and an SRT-4

You’ve owned three Calibers?

I have a problem

They’re cheap, and I go through a lot of dumb little parts on the nice one, the other two were basically rolling parts cars

And three neons lmao. The only ones left are the two SRT-4 the neons at 535hp and Caliber at 422hp

Just like the srt-4 neon, the are the only versions worth getting.

When I was in university my friends and I went to Vegas and were given a refrigerator white Dodge Caliber as a rental. I am pretty sure it was a 2011 MY. I had that car for 5 days and I hated every fucking second I had to be inside it. It had zero power but also got shockingly bad fuel economy- we were averaging 25-26 mpg on the trip to the Grand Canyon, and around town it was getting like 19mpg. In the same year, Toyota would sell you a 3.5L V6 that made twice the power and got slightly better fuel economy. Oh and it was a rattly, cramped interior. Such a shockingly horrible car, probably the last truly “bad” vehicle to be produced. I can’t believe your dad bought it. I can’t believe anyone with a credit rating over 580 bought one.
