Does anyone own a Dodge Caliber? - Dodge Caliber SRT-4 Forums

Is this one good on gas? How does it handle on the highway?

Nope, no one here owns one.

Mine handles phenomenally on the highway, but it's the SRT-4 Caliber. It's great on gas, and the normal Calibers are slightly better.

I've driven a few normal Calibers on the freeway, and they're great on the highway.

I own a 2007 R/T. It has a better suspension setup and totes the larger four banger. I've watched it get about 28 mpg on the freeway. I just wish the tank wasn't so small because I only get about 240-260 miles to the tank. I wait for the gas light to come on when I go fill up.

The suspension is pretty stiff though. If you don't want sport suspension go with the SXT.

You think your ride is rough, try the SRT. I'm getting used to it though.

I've driven it. I know what you mean. It was like driving my old Acura (on rails).

The Sebring's suspension is pretty soft...I can handle that.

Go drive my truck that I traded in for the CSRT-4.

shoot... go drive a neon lowered with two semi-blown struts. THAT .... is a rough ride.

I'm getting used to it. I also have a Jeep Rubicon with a 2 1/2" lift. It basically rides pretty much the same. That's the only thing I miss about my Magnum RT.
