Versatile looks aside, the 2007 Dodge Caliber is less cargo-friendly that it appears. Pluses for an average load height, dual pull-down handles on the trunk lid, a wide cargo area, and a portable flashlight incorporated into the overhead light. We also like the removable cargo cover and split seatback. Less desirable are struts stiff enough to make pulling down the trunk lid a chore, an optional Boston Acoustics subwoofer occupying valuable real estate, excessive use of durable but low-budget plastics, the absence of a paint-protection bumper pad, and steeply-raked glass that limits overall cargo capacity.
