Dodge Caliber
The Dodge Caliber is available in a variety of models so distinct that it is easy to choose the one that is the most suitable for you. Between the entry level SE version and the powerful SRT4, I have a weakness for the front-wheel drive SXT model, powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine linked to a CVT transmission. Much criticized, the finish was improved, particularly the soundproofing. And this year, the Caliber has several new multimedia connections.
