When you say your Caliber is cool, you\u2019re not kidding! The Chill Zone held four water bottles or cans and blew chilly air from the A\/C system, keeping your drinks cool. Now, you\u2019re not going to keep a half gallon of Rocky Road solid in there, but it\u2019s definitely better than sipping on a hot cola. The Chill Zone also made appearances in the Dodge Avenger and Dodge Journey, as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You roll up to the tailgate and someone blurts out, \u201cOh no, we forgot the boom box\u201d (for the youngsters, that\u2019s a portable radio often powered by those big D cell batteries!). Luckily, you\u2019re there in your Caliber, pop the hatch and fold down the MusicGate, part of the 458-watt Boston Acoustics sound system that included a subwoofer. Pivot them down and turn up your favorite boy band song. Music Gate was also available in the Jeep\u00ae<\/sub> Patriot and Compass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There was a time after CD players and before\nBluetooth\u00ae<\/sup> where we\u2019d keep our music on MP3 players (to date myself, I still\nhave an original iPod\u00ae<\/sup>, and it still works!). The interior folks molded in a pretty trick holder under the center\narmrest where you could keep yours hidden from prying eyes while connecting the\ncable to the sound system. Also note the\nblue\/green colored lights in the cupholders that matched the dash and center\nconsole lighting … another nice touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This one just makes too much sense. It\u2019s a ceiling light, it\u2019s a flashlight … it\u2019s both! While mounted in the holder, the light works like a traditional interior light. It\u2019s also charging the battery so you can use it at a moment\u2019s notice; pop it out and you have a flashlight. Simple, smart. Like the Caliber itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Over a six-year run, Dodge produced over 400,000 Calibers and unique bits like these made it a fun machine to commute in. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What\u2019s more important: how a car looks to the people you drive past or to you sitting inside? I would argue the interior is more important than the exterior since that\u2019s where you spend your time. That\u2019s what you\u2019re looking at, what you\u2019re touching and where you essentially LIVE during your daily commute. Face it, you\u2019ll spend hundreds of hours a year looking at the interior, so when a carmaker goes out of their way to make the inside just a bit more special, well, that\u2019s something to celebrate.
