Dodge Caliber
It is no small task to compete in the compact automobile segment… Available only as a family hatchback, the Caliber distinguishes itself by its well-planned interior, and its uncommon lines. For 2010, Dodge has eliminated the most powerful version, the SRT4, while only one engine is now offered for all versions: a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing 158 horsepower. Its hatchback configuration and economic engines provide a unique combination for a person lookg for a good all-around vehicle.
