I recently purchased a relatively new 2011 Dodge Caliber Mainstreet for $12,900 it had only 600 miles. I am relatively happy with ownig this car. However, I found that this car to be very slow, the 4cyl, 158 hp engine with the CVT transmisson is very weak. The engine lacks power for changing lanes and going up hills it makes long distance driving very difficult. Extremely poor gas mileage about 20- 24 mpg. Cheap interior and uncomfortable seats. Positive things are exterior styling and interior room. I would never buy this car at retail at $21,000. Howeve, if you can find one at a discounted price I would buy it. They are good commuter cars for providing basic transportation

i owned the vehicle for three years. In those three years i had to replace temperature sensors, struts because it sounded as if they had rocks inside, oil dipstick because it cracked with the heat. The transmission oil was 450, because no one other then the dealership wanted to touch it. Acceleration was soo poor, driving was soooo boring. I tried maintaining a positive attitude about the car, but now that I'm in a honda, its crazy how stupid i was to get this car. I will never get a dodge or american car based on this car. Gas consumption was horrible for being a 2.0, this car sucked.

This car was purchased in February 2011 and 3 month into owning the vehicle i notice rust, paint chips, and the rear window started getting a weird diamond pattern. Also, the car started to run rough.
