Used 2011 Dodge Caliber for Sale

I have a 2011 Dodge Caliber. Its outside color is silver, and on the inside it has black cloth seats. It has all-wheel drive and does okay in the snow. I like that if it's bad weather, I can use the AWD button because without it, this car is not good in rain or snow. It's a four cylinder, so it has no power at all, and it eats gas like its a V-8. It's a good family car...if you just want a big car with a hatch back because it has a large trunk to put all your purchases in. It's an okay car but nothing to write home about. If I could go back, I would not buy it again. Seriously, my husband's truck gets better gas mileage than this car, and it goes through tires just as bad. I do like that it does drive smooth, and it is pretty good sized on the inside for leg room. The radio system is pretty nice; it has good speakers and is pretty loud. To do an oil change on it is very easy and only needs to get done every 7,500 miles. A light will come on in the dash region to remind you when it's time to do one. In the middle console there is an outlet plug-in where you could plug in your phone or anything that you needed to.

I have owned this car for about three years, and it has not been a problem (so far). I had expected more mileage from the car being as small as it is. It is a daily commuter. I travel 20 minutes one way, and I am about 6' tall and slightly cramped while driving. If you want great reduction in road noise, this car requires the best-made tires in order to get it. I installed Michelin Defenders, and it made the noise acceptable level. Rear hatch has modest areas for groceries, but you will need to get creative in the placement of the boxes in order to do a full days shopping with it if you leave the rear seats up while using them. I like the 120 volt outlet the car offers in the middle console for utility purposes. I put 225 mm Michelin-width tires all around the car, and it handles like it is on rails and rain and snow are much better now as opposed to the slightly skinnier tires they recommend. Albeit the mileage took a hit some, but that is worth the trade to me. Overall, I think the mileage is somewhat unacceptable for the size and weight of this car. That is my biggest complaint about this vehicle. Other than that I have no problems-so far. The mileage of the car is affected by the heat of the outdoors-it gets much better mileage when its cold.

I first tried the Dodge Caliber when I rented it for vacation. I thought it provided a very smooth ride and I enjoyed how roomy it was. I liked the color, the gas mileage, and the compliments I got on it. Plus, the built in sound system made it sound like the speaker system was upgraded instead of factory.
