2008 Dodge Caliber - Mediocre at best.

My 2008 Dodge Caliber was the epitome of mediocre. The interior was a very basic dark gray with a mostly plastic feel. It came equipped with little to no features. It had power windows, but no GPS or fancy computer-like technology for controlling external music or radio. It was larger than a sedan but not quite an SUV. It offered no benefits to driving in the snow. It was roomy, though, coming with plenty of legroom in both the front seats and the back. I had transmission issues in it, even though I hadn't put many miles on it. It doesn't offer any benefits when it comes to driving in poor weather. It didn't have any traction options or four-wheel drive. I didn't feel very safe in situations in which the weather had taken a turn for the worse. It handled very poorly, feeling very loose...

Story

I drove the vehicle to a concert six hours away with a friend of mine. We had a great time, and the car did fine, but I was driving under normal circumstances, condition-wise.

Pros

The vehicle is roomy and contains a nice amount of storage when compared to something like a traditional sedan. I think it's also a nice-looking car. Very modern.

Cons

Very few features and not fun to drive. Poor interior that feels cheap and almost breakable.

2007 Dodge Caliber - Worst Car I've Owned

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.
