This car is by far the worst car I've ever owned. It's the first American car I've had and it shows that this country has a lot to do to compete with the big guns. I've only had it for three years and have already put $3,000 into fixes that are very strange for a car with around 120,000 miles on it, like a new motor mount and tie rods. It also gets pretty bad gas mileage - maybe 25 freeway. It's a noisy car to drive, lots of plastic rattles. I'm an avid cyclist and tried to put my bike in the trunk because it seems like a crossover SUV type vehicle should be able to accommodate that and it didn't even remotely fit. It's a weird shaped car and I hate it. It's not even comfortable to sit in for long periods of time - it's just the weirdest, worst car I've ever owned and ever sat in.
Story
It snowed one year quite a bit and this car just went over the snow like it wasn't even there. I had absolutely no problems driving around and because the car is a little higher off the ground, it goes over the snow pile ups very easily.
Pros
It's cheap to maintain. Oil changes and parts are generally affordable, which is a good thing because you will be taking it to the mechanic a lot! It's a roomy car to fix things yourself, too, because it's American. The engine compartment isn't tiny so it's easy to change belts and fill fluids. It has a windshield wiper in the back window, which is handy sometimes. I've heard the back seat has a lot of room for when we have guests riding with us. Good for hauling groceries and shopping trips.
Cons
It's very cheaply made so things fall apart on it often. It has bad gas mileage for a newer car. It's uncomfortable to ride in for long periods of time. The cheap plastic interior is hard to maintain. It's a noisy car to drive in because of the cheap plastic things in it so it rattles, especially when music is on. The way the windshield is shaped, the windows get foggy very easily so I constantly have to have the defroster on. The stick shift is really weird and if you hit it wrong it puts it in a weird gear.

I have owned my Dodge Caliber since 2013. Three years and the only problem I have had is a couple of flat tires. All in all, it was a great purchase and I plan on keeping this one around a while.
Story
Driving on all the back roads outside of town to get my daughter to sleep.
Pros
This car can handle dirt, gravel, construction areas, and potholes as well as paved roads. It does decent in snow and great in rain. It handles respectably in most conditions.
Cons
The only drawbacks I have come across are that there is a little bit of lag time when you punch the accelerator to when it revs up to go. It also has no space to work on the engine and changing the air filter is a pain. Also, when you put all the seats down you end up with only 10' of cargo space on the passenger side and about 6' on the driver side.
