The Dodge Caliber, a compact car manufactured by Dodge from 2006 to 2012, was a significant departure from the company's traditional muscle car image. Introduced as a competitor to the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, the Caliber aimed to appeal to a younger, more value-conscious audience with its bold styling and versatile interior design. The car featured a unique "cab-forward" design, with a long hood, short rear overhang, and a high-mounted roofline, maximizing interior space while offering a sporty and dynamic appearance. Available in five trims: SE, SXT, R/T, SRT4, and the limited-edition Heat, the Caliber offered a range of powertrain options, including a 2.0L naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, a 2.4L naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, and a turbocharged 2.4L four-cylinder engine that powered the performance-oriented SRT4 model. The Caliber also offered a variety of transmission options, including a five-speed manual, a six-speed manual, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Despite its efforts to capture a new market, the Dodge Caliber faced stiff competition from established players in the compact car segment. While it offered a stylish design and a practical interior, the Caliber struggled to match the reliability and fuel efficiency of its rivals. The car also encountered reliability issues, particularly with its transmissions and engine components, which contributed to its declining sales and ultimately led to its discontinuation in 2012. Nevertheless, the Dodge Caliber remains a distinctive and memorable entry in the compact car landscape, showcasing Dodge's attempts to broaden its appeal beyond its traditional performance-driven image. The 2008 Dodge Caliber Repair Service Manual, a comprehensive guide for mechanics and enthusiasts alike, provides detailed information on the car's mechanical systems, allowing for effective repair and maintenance.
