The Dodge Caliber, a compact car manufactured by Chrysler from 2007 to 2012, made its debut as a 2007 model year vehicle. It was positioned as a stylish and versatile option in the growing compact segment, aiming to capture the attention of young buyers with its unique design and a range of powertrain options. The Caliber offered two distinct body styles: a standard four-door hatchback and a more rugged-looking "SXT" model featuring a more upright windshield and a raised roofline, providing a semblance of a small crossover SUV. Under the hood, the Caliber was available with a variety of engines, including a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, and a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. The 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter engines were paired with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission, while the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine was exclusively mated to a six-speed manual transmission.
Despite its initial promise, the Dodge Caliber faced challenges in the market, struggling to compete with established rivals in terms of both sales and reputation. It was criticized for its somewhat cramped interior, a suspension that was deemed less than refined, and a perceived lack of driving excitement. In 2012, the Caliber was discontinued, marking the end of its short but eventful journey in the compact car segment. Nevertheless, the Caliber has found a niche among enthusiasts, particularly the turbocharged models, for their potential for modification and performance upgrades. The Dodge Caliber Workshop Repair Service Manual, designed for mechanics and experienced DIYers, provides comprehensive information on every aspect of the Caliber, including troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair procedures. This manual serves as an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand and work on this unique vehicle.
