Once you choose that you like the Caliber, you'll be set for the secondary choice...SXT or R/T? If the opportunity presents itself, give them both a try.

is there a topic on this issue? why the heck doesn't it lock in postion?superbang said:yeah, from what i've been hearing it slides quite a bit...![]()
The sliding arm-rest is anoying but it's tolerable. It's simply something that needs to be corrected in next years model. I think the reason it slides is because if it remains too far back then it doesn't serve the purpose of being an arm rest very well. If It's too far forward then it gets in the way of the hand-brake handel. The thing just needs some sort of system to prevents it from sliding so easily.tom_vilsack said:is there a topic on this issue? why the heck doesn't it lock in postion?

find it annoying?
did you find a solution?
It's mentioned in many discussions - including ones about problems/concerns encountered in general. I don't believe there is a specific thread devoted just to it.tom_vilsack said:is there a topic on this issue? why the heck doesn't it lock in postion?

Before you buy get a compression test!! i highly recommend you do that...Blazestorm said:Ah well... It turns out I may be going with a Ford Escape...
A Caliber with all of the features I wanted would have came out to $20,000ish ... not even an R/T![]()
But we found a 2005 Ford Escape at our Toyota Dealer, Leather, 3.0L, V6, XLT, AWD, Sunroof, "No-limits Package" (Side-steps, roof rack and other stuff), 40k miles, and it had a tag of $19,000 but he mentioned it's been on the lot for a while and said somewhere in the $15,000 range for us... Which is like $5,000 under blue-book. My dad said it would be pretty stupid to pass it up
If I went with the Caliber I would be getting the most bone stock SXT we could find unfortunately. Maybe one is for me in the future... who knows
Only thing I'm really worried about on the Escape is the gas efficiency, but I think I talked my dad into getting a Gas Card w/ shell or another big company in place of an allowance + whatever other work he wants me to do around the house.
Haha, sorry to disappoint with the not getting a caliber...
