Honda Fit vs. Dodge Caliber Review

Utility
Neither the Honda Fit nor the Dodge Caliber has a marked advantage in terms of seating capacity.

Performance
As far as horsepower, the Caliber packs quite a wallop and will knock the Honda Fit down a few rungs. On the other hand, bear in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Dodge than the Honda Fit because of its bigger tank. The Honda Fit and the Dodge Caliber compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
The Honda Fit's fuel tank will need to be replenished somewhat more often than the unit in the Dodge Caliber.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Dodge Caliber to the dealership as the Honda. The Dodge Caliber pales in comparison to the Honda Fit regarding fuel economy. The Dodge Caliber will tax your gasoline budget considerably more than the Honda Fit will. As far as MSRP, the Honda Fit costs substantially less than the Caliber.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Honda Fit and the Dodge most definitely handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Dodge has a larger engine than the Honda. Remember that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Dodge Caliber is substantially more powerful than the Honda Fit.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Honda Fit offers a bit more head room than the Dodge, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The Dodge Caliber is not particularly more spacious for your passengers than the Honda Fit.

Warranty
The Dodge Caliber and the Fit have the same basic warranty.
