We had one of the first Calibers to come out. 2007 in June of 2006 . Its been a great car over all. We've had a few minor interior problems. Plastic pieces popped loose.    In town MPG is not what they claim (we get 19mpg)but I think its my wifes driving more then anything. She has a heavy foot and drives like a wild woman going to shit.

Highway MPG has been better then what they say. Usually around 32mpg and I got 34mpg  on my last trip.


The thing I have noticed when driving it is after a while you know where the throttle needs to be for going 30mph.  I find if you put the motor where it needs to be and let the CVT transmission pull you up instead of using excessive engine rpm to get you up and moving  it does better on gas in town.   Back seats fold down and you can haul some stuff in the back.  I have hauled a rototiller and a snow blower with it.

Has plenty of power and handles great.   Has a bit more road noise then I like but its an economy car. Wished it held a few more gallons of gas.    Our tank holds 13gallons and when the gas light comes on you better get to a station right then and there as you are down to a gallon or less.
