I owned a Caliber for a year. Really enjoyed it. Once you got used to
the CVT it was fun to drive and I actually miss the CVT now that i have
a normal auto tranny in my Town & Country. Loved the looks of them and
the available features were good as well. Just an overall fun car to
drive. Except for being too small once we had our second child there
wasn't much about the car I didn't like.
