2.0 CRD SXT Sport 5d
Dodge Calibre

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The gear box on the 6 Speed Manuel is so balanced and matched sweet changes others could learn from this this is no doubt a drivers car if you want to drive slowly you don't even need the top two gears and fuel economy is outstanding, motorway speeds It wants to go so keep an eye on your speed because it will rise, with the diesel engine the revs are low compaired to a (petrol) so im not a lover of petrol and there is more to go wrong on the electrical side with those. All round vision if I have to complain the posts on the front are a bit thick but I look at it as stronger and it has never botherd me if you have good eyes use them properly most people may look or think they look but they dont see, and yes I do know I was a driving instructer for (HGV Class 1 Vehicles) It has never let me down.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I wish I could Buy a new one of this model NOW the same shape it is one of the best all round cars I have ever owned and I am now 69 years old (smile every time I get in it) Go past every thing and I still think I am 17yrs old I never look over my shoulder for any thing els nothing comes close. It will cruse at 90mph if you want it to or potter around at 40mph so Ok you use a little more fuel with high exeleration but who cares I don't want to get rid of it.
