When I first purchased my vehicle I liked the body shape because it is similar to a Ford Flex. It only had 500 miles on it and that appealed to me at the time. The color being silver is easy to keep up and does not have to be washed all the time. I did not like the cloth seats, they are harder to keep clean than leather. The all metal rims are nice and easier to maintain than hub caps. I like that it only takes 12 gallons to fill it up and that saves on my gas bill with growing gas prices. The black interior looks great, but it gets extremely hot in the summer time. I have not really had any major issues since I purchased the car, until I hit 50000 miles. You can get almost 300 miles to a full tank of gas which is great for long road trips. The radio is stock and sounds pretty good. There is not a USB port to plug in to so you always have to have a car charger. The back seats lay down and it is a hatch back so you can haul more that you would be able to in a traditional car.

I love this little car. I used to drive a big old van, I think if I remember it was a Ford Aerostar. Huge monster of a vehicle, so coming to a dodge caliber, it felt tighter in turns, and much more easier to get in and out of tight parking spaces. I love the durability, as it was easy to take care of, and the dodge caliber took care of me by never breaking down on the road. It's not modified or anything, strictly stock. Nothing was upgraded, and yet everything performs flawlessly. I only replaced the batter once, and just maintained it with regular oil changes that were scheduled religiously. Oh, I remember now, a few months ago, had to change the air conditioning compressor. Other than that, nothing. Maybe a new set of tires later this year. Gas mileage is alright. Nothing to complain about, I would gas about every two weeks or so. As I don't really go out that much.

I love this car. I actually bought this one in addition to a 2007 of the same model. This car drives like a van but parks and uses gas like a sedan. It gets good gas mileage and has needed little repair or work of any kind.
