ROAD TEST: 2009 Dodge Caliber SXT

The 2009 Dodge Caliber SXT is a great example of a car that under-promises and over-delivers. Absent of much of the advertising shrill of other lesser makes, the Caliber SXT quietly and competently exceeds expectations of the segment - great looks, ample power, abundant interior room and comfort - all with great value (see link below for pricing - special employee pricing is in effect now) while turning in 30-mpg on the highway.

Caliber SXT stands out because of its unique good looks and value. Its can-do ability and aggressive looks combine to make it stand out in the crowd. Powered by a smooth 2.0L engine and a surprisingly well behaved continuous-variable transaxle, its a pleasure to behold and command on the road.

For less than most used cars, you can own a brand-new Dodge Caliber SXT. If you're considering a small SUV, you owe it to yourself test drive the Caliber. You're in for a number of pleasant surprises, and a fun drive!
