I love my car so much it's probably unhealthy

2011 Dodge Caliber Express 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I bought this car with 63 miles on it in December 2011. I love the orange color, how it looks like a transformer, and how the dash is set up. For what it is it is a great little car. I live in Colorado and have taken my little Caliber up Jeep trails without issue, so long as I have the clearance I have had no trouble. The manual transmission is really nice and makes it fun to drive. I … love driving my car and it does decent in the snow. I have the most basic model you can get and it is comfortable on long trips. This is a fun little car but it is that, a little car. It is not a high performance sports car but it is fun to drive and has been totally reliable.
Edmunds asked me to update this. I have had my car since I drove her out of the showroom in 2011. It's now Feb. 2016 and I have only ever done routine maintenance on this car. I got almost 64,000 miles on the original spark plugs. I have driven her from Colorado to New England and all over New England. She handles snow, crappy roads (oh boy are the roads in RI crappy), and everything else like a pro. I love this car still. My only complaint is that the dash is large enough that she isn't comfortable for my very tall (6' 3") boyfriend. The gas mileage could be a little better for the size but I'd take her heft in the snow over gas mileage any day.
Asked again to update, I traded her for a Nissan Xterra because I needed an off road capable vehicle. As of March 2017, I only did routine maintenance on the Caliber and would recommend that car to anyone shorter than 6' tall.
Love this Wagon!

It's size and comfort are perfect for what I was looking for. Bigger than a car, yet smaller than an SUV. I'm I'm love!!!
Buyer Beware

All Dodge Calibers-all years have this problem. Dodge is aware but refused to fix it. Should be recalled, but they won't do that either. Dealerships get them, knowing the problem and pawn off on the next person.
Do yourself a favor and do not buy this car, no matter what year. They leak!! Do not let them tell you otherwise. You'll be dealing with water on your floors, seat, inside … of roof, rearview mirror, etc.
These are all Dodge Calibers.
