The Dodge Caliber is an excellent economy car. I have driven it for around 10,000 miles and it has given me no problems. I like the size of the car since it's not that big and it still gives off a sense of security. The car has good mileage and I typically fill the tank every 2 weeks. The quality of the car does feel sub par and the model has been known to have problems, but not in my case. If someone is looking for a good first car, the Caliber is a car that I would like to recommend.

My 2007 Dodge Caliber is my first car, so I don't have a lot to compare it to. It's ten years old now, though I've only had it for six. I like that I haven't had to do too much work on it, aside from basic maintenance. The only major issue I've had is that I had to replace the alternator a few years back.
