In a year I intend to get a car - my first car (and I have no previous driving experiance.. ), Im asking for people's suggestions and opinions.
Im currently looking at the Dodge caliber.
I went to Dodge.ca (Im in Canada) and priced out what I wanted.
2007 Caliber SXT D Pkg.
- ** 2.0L 4-Cyl. DOHC 16V Dual VVT Engine
W/ Continuously Variable Transmission
- Cloth Low-Back Bucket Seats
- P215/60R17 BSW AS Touring Tires
- 17X6.5-in. Steel Wheels
- 4 speakers
- AM/FM Compact Disc Radio with Changer Control and MP3 capability
- Air conditioning
- ** Security Group
- Anti-Lock Front Disc, Rear Drum Brakes
- ** Fog Lamps
Its the basic SXT "D" package, as the cheaper SE model does not have AC.
** = options I added.
Getting the "security package" for the air filters.
Total is $20,355 CAD (talked to a dealership, they confirmed this price)
priced with the USA site, its $17,360 USD
The car I will use has to move the occational load of lumber (4'x8' sheets, 2"x4"s, etc), large cargo items at times, groceries and sometimes people (friends, dates, etc).
Minivan is to big, sedan is too small (unless its a full size)
Im also looking at the Golf/Rabbit, but they are a bit to expensive for my first car.
Does anybody have any knowledge about the Caliber ?
especailly foibles/problems.
Does anyone know a better car in this price range (15-22 k) ?
- Im a big guy so cars like KIAs are very bad.
