| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
Had to replace brakes and rotors at 33,000 miles. Since day 1, mysterious water leak makes drip sound after rain. Floors in front and back on passenger side often damp or wet and get smelly. Been told it would take extensive testing to find problem. full 2007 Dodge Caliber review |

I was concerned that the car might have reliability issues, partly because it was a new model. full 2007 Dodge Caliber review |
