As simpletons, our editors are fond of climate controls like those found in the 2007 Dodge Caliber. Three clear dials for mode, fan speed, and temperature make quick of work directing cool or heated air to its desired location. It may not be a terribly sophisticated system, but it allows you to get comfortable while that BMW driver tries to stop boiling the blood in his feet. However, the Caliber’s hvac controls are less than perfect thanks to small and somewhat obscure buttons for a/c, recirculation, and defrost. On a final positive note, optional seat heaters operate quickly and effectively.
