The tire rods are messed up, and the suspension sounds terrible,at least it is good on gas but it is too small for me I prefer a big truck rather than a little car the speakers are nice though and I love having a aux plug it is weird having the long antenna on the car as well.

Dodge caliber 2011 car review.
Fun to drive, had some problems, not luxury. Nice start off car. It is a used vehicle, my advice do not buy if mileage is high. Does not fit very many comfortably and small. It is good for just married couple with two children max. Truck space is good, nice car overall.

My red dodge caliber is roomy, great on gas and never breaks down.
I have not had any problems with my car. It's surprisingly roomy, it's great on gas, and it is so easy to park. Normal oil changes, replaced the battery once, I have gotten one new set of tires, and I have had a brake job done. All of these items at just normal maintenance.

Horsepower... Who needs it?
The vehicle clunks around with as much grace as a sumo wrestler on figure skates. The lack of horsepower & thus hysterically loud noises not only are annoying but sure can be scary when attempting to drive up even the smallest of hills or quickly accelerate.

Good on gas. Sleek design.
Good car. Good gas mileage. Low to ground. Easy turns. Had to replace the oxygen sensor and brake sensor once but that was easy and cheap to fix. Not much room for three kids but we make it work and it is still roomy with four doors. I do not like the manual to auto transmission option when you hit the gear stick.

Perfect mini SUV for a single person or couple.
It is a perfect mini version of an SUV and the seats go down to make a spacious area for moving large items. The ac blows hard and I love the satellite radio. I love the trunk you can open and the cup holders in the back. I wish there was ac vents for the back seat.

Rear seats fold down for easy transport of larger or multiple items.
Repeated front end steering and wheel issues. Very common with this model. Multiple recalls for various things. Not quite as tall a SUV but taller than an average car. Head room is average. Great on gas. Overall, I have had a decent experience with this particular vehicle.
Adam A

Ugh this car needs some TLC
Lots of issues with back end. Had to replace the starter and still doesn't seem to start right. This car type has been known for the issues that I have stated and had I done some research it may have not been my choice after the accident that I had. This car is ok
daniela C
on March 12, 2021
Great car it is a dream very confident very comfortable very smooth.
It works well but I've had a few problems with it. I always do the basic oil change and it saves up gas. The front seats were comfortable and not bad as a single person or married couple, but once you add children, there's really no room for them and all that goes with kids. In the 3 years I had it, there weren't many issues that couldn't be fixed with general maintenance and caused by normal wear and tear, just not good for a growing family. Comfort.

I love that it sits up higher than a car. I love the hatchback. I don't like that it has no power.
Denise K

Be careful who you buy from.
Most of my issues stem from the low quality of the dealership. I have had to make major repairs starting immediately after purchase. I would love the car if it wasn't in such bad shape. It didn't even make it past 100k miles before needing a new transmission, started, cv axle, power steering pump, and more.
Roger B
on February 18, 2021
Happy with my dodge caliber.
I have not had any major repairs since I have owned it. I bought it second hand. The trunk has a lot of room for groceries and things. I do not care for the back seat. It is hard for 3 people to sit back there because there is not enough room. It is easy on gas and I never have to add oil between changes. I would suggest this vehicle to others.

2011 Dodge Caliber Heat: Possibly the Hatchback of the Decade
It is a very sleek design for such a reasonably priced car. A very simple engine bay makes repairs and maintenance a breeze. The gas mileage is 24 combined mpg which is reasonable. It comes with extensive safety features, quality A/C air flow, up to date radio/display with Sirius XM capability. The only downsides are the get up and go, which could be expected from a 4 cylinder 2.0L engine, and the trunk size is a little hard to work with. For a family with up to 3 children it is a great commuter car, especially in cities where the streets are small, as the vehicle is very compact. Overall a great vehicle, especially for the money.
Juliana A

Has great stock speakers!!
Really good car. No problems. Drives smoothly seat warms are amazing for the winter!! Fits 3 car seats pretty good. Wish it had a bigger trunk the!! Good little car for a small family! Has great bass to it also!! Have had it for 4 years now and it's still going strong.

Voice systems for the hands free.
Very little maintenance but expensive when needed. Wheel bearing. Brake shoes and radiator but it performances is ok. It is easy to handle. But wouldn't buy another one. Cost of that car should be under 10, 000. 00. The features with the hands free radio does not work unless buy some kind of adapter cord. And change the time is job.
Angela D
on January 23, 2021
As long as do maintenance, it runs great.
I love my car. Its comfortable, gets great gas mileage. The repairs have been minimal and not too pricey. The glove compartment door broke and a plastic part on the door frame. Brakes always squeak even when brand new. But this has been a great car.
Jessica I

Its a manual transmission and first gear sometimes pops out of place.
I like that its a manual transmission and has a great sound system. I like that it has a small refrigerator and is spacious. I don't like that it doesn't go very fast.

Dodge. Low miles requires no work except regular maintenance.
Car is fine. Too small for me. Too loud. Has less than 70k miles. I should've never purchased the vehicle in the first place. I loved my jeep grand Cherokee. If I could kick my own ace I would! I'll never purchase this type of car again. I regret it. This car would be good for a teenage person just starting out in last year of high school or first year in college.

It is cute and spunky, it is a silver color and I named it snowberry. LoL.
It was purchased used, and we drove it for about 3 months and then we had a problem with the alternator. We had a reliable mechanic put in a new one and ever since then it had been running well. The only minor thing now is we have to fix the electric window lever on the drivers side. I like the reliability of it and it is pretty good for the gas mileage.

Great car, won't be disappointed.
No problems, very comfortable, spacious for small vehicle, very reliable, like the looks of the vehicle, a lot of space for personal items, have had compliments on the vehicle, great interior and outside trim, would recommend this vehicle, priced right as well.

Roomy interior for a smaller car.
It is a smaller SUV type vehicle. There is plenty of space and leg room inside. It has constant issues with ball joints, they've been replaced 3 times now. It gets decent gas mileage. It is very low to the ground so I sometimes have to crane my neck to see outside above the windshield.
Jill B

Mechanically reliable car even at high mileage, transmission overheats on long, steep trips.
Great little car, transmission overheats driving up and down through the mountains on long trips, but for the most part an excellent car with no other mechanical issues, over 150k miles.
Kai H

Seal broken/collecting water inside car.
It collects water because a seal is broken. No one has been able to fix it. The car runs okay, but constantly smells musty because of the collecting water. Whenever we stop, we can hear it sloshing in the trunk area. Our car is also rusting a lot, which might be related.

Fastest heat & a/c, amazing trunk space, and great handling.
I haven't had any problems with my dodge caliber. It has superb handling and the seats are comfortable as well. The steering wheel is also adjustable and the a/c has phenomenal air flow. The a/c cuts on quick as well as the heat. The trunk has lots of space and the back seats fold down to give you more room.

Good on gas. Dislike that it is a stick shift. Auxiliary compatible. Looks small on the outside but feels roomy. Family safe.
Beth L

Very smooth ride that performs well.
I have had this car for over three years and so far have not had any issues beyond normal wear. The back seats lay down easily for those larger loads. Bought a new grill and worried about getting it home. It easily slid in with room to spare! All fluids are easy to get to, check and top off.
Bethany A

The old car blues: it falls apart after you pay it off.
Honestly, I didn't have any problems until I paid it off. Then I basically had to replace everything under the hood. Other than that, it is been ok I guess. I really just want a new car. It gets good gas mileage. If you take away the fact that I have put over three thousand dollars into it in less than a year, I guess it is not too bad.
Jennifer M
on October 20, 2020
It has great gas mileage.
I like the great gas mileage. It is also easy to park because it is small. I also like the hatchback. The only thing I wish is that it was 4 wheel drive and higher off the ground.
Vanessa B

Dodge Caliber 2011 Fun Car to Drive
It's a great car!! Fun to drive!! I wouldn't buy one if the mileage is 80,000 miles or more because you will start having problems with it. The gas mileage is ok, I have to fill up once a week About $ 20-25 fills the tank depending on the cost of gas.
Kimmie V

Can stall when it overheats. When it's hot and you go over 70 miles.

Small car with a huge trunk.
I love my dodge caliber. It is reliable and we have never really had any problems with it. The only thing we have ever had to change is the alternator. The only thing we don't like is it is not meant for a family. It is a very small car and the back seat it not meant for anyone bigger than a small child.
Evelyn D

Slow and steady wins the race.
It's been a great car was used when I bought it and has lasted quite a while. I always love a dodges sound system too they always have a good sound stock. But for some reason it leaks water on your foot. I was told it's BC if where some intake is behind one of the tires so it gets rain water in there and then leaks on your foot.
Michael R

That it is a cheap car, but it is not a bad quality car. It would make a fantastic first car for someone.

My car will not let me lock my keys in my car!
I like it. It's not my dream car but it runs well and I have only had to fix one tiny little issue. Decent gas mileage and reliable. So far It's one of the best cars I have had. Very comfortable! It does not accelerate as fast as I would like but Its not detrimental to the ownership.
Breanna N
on September 17, 2020
Affordable, comfortable, and reliable.
I love the amount of room it has in it and the durability. I am able to make long trips and not worry about having any problems. It does unfortunately run out of gas and I have had it checked multiple times so I know there is nothing that needs to be fixed.
Becky A
on September 2, 2020
Decent car, not so decent transmission.
This car has a great sound system, Siriusxm satellite and is an all around simple car. There are not a lot of fancy buttons and lights which is easy on the eyes for night driving. The rearview mirror dims at night so the car lights behind you are not blinding. The transmission is a continuous shift transmission which I do not like. The car does not have the get up and go that I prefer. Other than the transmission, it is not a bad car. The backseat is a little claustrophobic due to the headspace. It is an ok car.
Katy M
on August 25, 2020
A no nonsense type of car.
My dodge caliber has been a very reliable car. It is very stock, with not a lot of whistles. It has taken me on trips, and back and forth to work with no problems. It does have some quirks. It clicks when I turn on the air, and the passenger side windshield fluid spout gets clogged. The seats are comfortable.m, and I like the fact that you can fold down the rear seats for more storage. The suspension isn't the greatest, it likes to groan sometimes going over bumps. And the depreciation value had me very disappointed.
Faith C

Drink cooler in the glove box!
Drives well through the snow. Has great gas mileage. I can get to and from work (15 min to 1/2 hr drive each way) on a tank of gas. Love the spot in my glove box for drinks! We use it for trips to keep the drinks cool and our snacks from melting. It's a comfortable ride. Has plenty of trunk space and with the back seats folded down can haul plenty. I even fit a twin sized mattress and could close the hatch.
Christopher B
on August 20, 2020
The surprisingly roomy compact caliber.
Though listed as a compact car, the dodge caliber carries four adults comfortably. Its hatchback allows multiple packages and the back seat folds down to carry furniture. Gas mileage is could and acceleration fine for entering interstate traffic. Air and heat are fine.

A smaller SUV with all the power and space you need.
Very smooth drive with a comfortable interior. Nice haul space and excellent in Iowa winters. Works for a couples camping weekend, hauling sound equipment or taking the kids fishing. CD player and mp3 input means music for everyone. Perfect size for someone wanting all the advantage of a SUV but the drivability of a car.
Anna M

My blue caliber has dark interiors, and cloth seats, and a hatchback.
I have really liked this car, but I am having problems with the throttle control which make it seem unreliable to me. Research I have done online showed me that a lot of the people who had the same problem where unable to fix it. People would replace the part completely and the problem still wouldn't go away. I am ready to switch to something safer.

The car is roomy and comfy for a hatchback.
Shocks and wiggly front end problems are constant. The trunk/hatch space is nice and large. The seats are comfy. Car is slow to take off but is a 4 cylinder. Sharp interior looks. Back seat folds down and there is so much space. Lights always seem to get moisture no matter what you do.

Caliber lasting resilience.
As much as I love my car I wasn't really able to pick it so it has never been my favorite. The ride is relatively smooth and it definitely gets going when it wants to. It has lasted me a long time but I just want something else. It is a good car for a first time buyer.
Mary B

The perks of driving a dodge caliber.
The quality of my vehicle is top tier. It is a hatchback which is useful for travel. Back seats are a bit cramped, however it comfortably seats 5 people. Excellent gas mileage. I usually fill it up every 2 weeks. Has a jack for an auxiliary cord as well as CDs.
Chris B

2011 dodge caliber is my first car.
My car is safe and reliable allowing me to travel to a from work and other desired locations. The acceleration could be better and gas mileage as well. It handles nicely and can last years! It is a very comfortable car and leaves plenty of room for other passengers and groceries. Plenty of trunk space and the seats are able to be lowered which allow even more space at the cost of eliminating back seat space.
Pat S

Smooth riding 2011 dodge hatchback mainstream.
This is a small vehicle but has a surprisingly smooth comfortable ride. I like the hatchback and storage space it provides. The gas mileage is good and the vehicle is durable. There is one annoying thing and that's the brakes squeal. They have been checked numerous times but they still squeal.
Patricia S
on June 14, 2020
2011 dodge caliber brakes squeal.
The only real problem I have had with my dodge caliber is that the brakes squeal. They have done this since I purchased it. They especially squeal after we have had a lot of rain. There is no recall that I am aware of. I have had the brakes checked several times and they always check out just fine. However, to this day they still squeal. A big annoyance to me.

Dodge caliber: worth a test drive for the thoughtful motorist.
My dodge caliber is a four-door hatchback that carries four adults comfortably. It gets average gas mileage and can load a large cargo with the back seat down. Even with the seat up, the hatch area can hold six large grocery bags. Front and back wipers keep the windows clear. Cruise control is great.

Well one good thing it has a chill zone. It's in the jockey box.
It has a ton of electrical issues. It's a closed system. I've had tons of recalls one it. The back hatch will not open. Its a cute car but has tons of problems. The radio shorts out when the heater is on. The windows will randomly stop working. I can't wait to get a new car.

Perfect mid-size vehicle for beginner families.
Great family car if you want something bigger than a sedan but smaller than a full size SUV. My only complaint is that when the a/c is on, it has a hard time accelerating sometimes, especially when you are going up hill. Plenty of trunk space for a large stroller or lots of groceries.

Nice stylish station wagon..with all the bells and whistles if need be.
The 2011 Dodge Caliber is a great running car. Mine is a mainstream and has several options, satellite radio, which is Siri. Its equipped with a 2.0L 14 DOHC 16 VALVE DUAL vvt mines got 70 000 miles on her and I gave 10 000 for her 3 years ago. Mine was equipped with dual air bags all the way around the car, nice alloy rims and tinted windows.it's a car for grandma or grandpa.don't get me wrong if you push the pedal it will go. But it reminds me of a new Age Station wagon.equipped with automatic or manual transmission I have had a recall on passenger front seat belt

It's a cozy miniature version of an SUV!
This car runs beautifully, has a lot of space, and is user friendly. However, going over speed bumps is a bit noisy and you can feel everything! The AC sometimes doesn't kick on right away but it is an older car so I don't think about that too much. If I could change anything, I'd like to have a Bluetooth touch screen instead of the standard stereo.
Jeff G

Great reliable car can run forever if you take care of it.
My dodge caliber is a very reliable car. Rey few breakdowns. Good gas mileage soda cooler in the glove compartment. Only one USB port in the car standard for 2011. Interior is a little hard to clean so you should buy seat covers.165k miles and still running good. Air con still works good.
Tyler C
on January 26, 2020
I love how user friendly this car is,
This car is a reliable vehicle and can last a long time. There is some occasional electrical issues that cause a problem from time to time but overall it is great. The biggest downfall is that this car is not all wheel drive, which makes a difference the snow. Also there is only so much horsepower this thing can mustard out to overcome obstacles.

I love the color of blackberry. In the sun it changes color to blue glitter.
It is American made, looks like a small SUV but it is actually a car. It is blackberry in color which in the sun it actually looks like blue glitter. I have had it 8 years and never have had a problem with it. I have approximately 110,000 miles on it and it is still performing perfectly. I have taking it to Florida and back to Connecticut approximately 10 times with no problems. I do oil changes regularly and brakes 2 times since I have the car. I check all fluids and keep it well taken care of. I love my car.

2011 dodge caliber with 126,000 miles.
My car is a 2011 dodge caliber. I bought it last year not realizing that it only has two seatbelts in the back.. Yet I have 3 children. It is had an electrical issue since I got it too, where just about every time I use my turn signal, the power to my radio cuts in and out. It is a small car but not uncomfortable and the gas mileage is good. The hatch on the back opens if you lift up really hard. It needs new springs. I like that the radio has built in Bluetooth for music and phone calls. It is not a bad car. I just know I need a better one.
Dianna B

2011 dodge caliber-everyone's dream vehicle.

2011 red dodge caliber hatchback. I love how well it handles in traffic.
I like my car. It is a 4 door hatchback. It is very good on gas and easy to drive and handle in traffic. It is comfortable and has good air conditioning and heat. It has a good number of bells and whistles and great tires. I have not had trouble with it. I have it maintained regularly and have had to replace the battery. My only objection is that from time to time the brakes squeal, they have been checked 3 times and are pronounced good to excellent and safe. There was a passenger seat belt recall which I honored. This is a smaller vehicle than I have been driving but I love the size. I am very satisfied with the car and would buy another one.

Eight years and no major problems
It's lasted almost 8 years without any major issues. There has never been a recall on my vehicle (unlike other Dodge models). There is plenty of room for just the two of us. I like the fact that the radio isn't a touch screen & I can actually maneuver my way around the radio while driving without having to look down at the screen & become distracted.

It is good on gas, seats up to 5 people comfortably, trunk space is semi limited.
This is so far the best car that I have owned. I have had a few issues with it since owning in 2016. I have had to get new wheel bearings, struts, and a few other things replaced. For the most part I would say this car is reliable and good on gasoline!
Janet K

Pros and cons for a 2011 Dodge caliber.
It is not a bad vehicle however if you are tall and have little ones there is not check legroom in front and almost no back seat room. When I bought the vehicle I didn't at that time have two grandchildren but now I am finding it very difficult to get them in the backseat with their car seats yes. I do like that the back seats drop down for added space if you need to haul or transfer something a little bit larger but as far as room goes there's not much of it. If you are needing something with a lot of get up and go I do not recommend this vehicle either.

My 2011 dodge caliber mainstreet has a lot of problems with the vehicle including problems with power steering,alternator,gas mileage and oil intake
Don't buy a dodge caliber mainstreet it's not worth the money or heartache

Very spacious with convenient features but overheats easily.
I bought it used. But it has very bad break issues and the engine overheats easily. Otherwise I like how big the interior is. It has an outlet in it and that is very convenient to me. It has a lot of interesting features as well as Bluetooth. It still runs through.

The vehicle is to spacious but it gets the job done for whatever you need it for
It's drives very well when you're not even touching the gas pedal much. The gas tank is really huge as well. The headlights are perfect light plus the high beams are not super bright so other cars can still drive even if you have yours on. Usually the brakes have some trouble but you can always replace them

They should know that it is a hatchback so you get a lot of space in the back if you need it
I like that my car drives smoothly and the interior is nice. It is red and black. The seats are not leather which I love because in the summer it can be VERY hot.

Overheating problems in the Dodge Caliber are a downfall for an overall good car.
The caliber is a nice little car for short or long distance journeys. It is great on gas mileage. Though I have had a few problems with the engine. There is also a problem with the car overheating in the summer months when the A/C is running.

2011 Dodge Caliber mainstreet.
It is actually a very good little car. I wish it set higher up though. I have the mainstream model with 60/40 split seats that holds a lot of stuff! It came with rain shields over the side windows. I do wish it had a sunroof. Gas mileage could be better, but it gets me where I need to be!

It gets 30 miles to the gallon on the highway.
There is only one key lock on the entire vehicle. The fuel economy is terrible, and the vehicle does not have much power.

My car is safe, reliable, family friendly, and comes stock with Bose speakers.
I love that my car is spacious, reliable, and does not make me feel like I am driving a mom mobile. . . Even when I am in the drop off line. If I could change something, I would say the acceleration rate is not the best.

2011 dodge caliber- very reliable and safe.
My dodge caliber is very reliable and great on gas. I love the comfort but my only issue is bad road noise. I wish the yr my caliber was made had Bluetooth but I make do. I really like the fold down rear seats and the removable back gate cover. The cover makes shopping seem safer no one can see I have anytime in the back.

Dependable but not a very classy or comfortable ride.
This car has been dependable and has only required minimal and routine maintenance. Gas mileage is acceptable but not as good as expected. Very small interior not comfortable for long road trips. Exterior paint did not hold up well. Engine can be very foggy. Overall dependable, just not a lot of power and basic appearance and features.

The 2011 dodge caliber is a perfect travel car to take to and from college.
I enjoy dodges because of their durability and overall have enjoyed my experience driving this car. The only complaints I have are it is difficult to see well when backing up the car. Both the side mirrors and rearview mirror do not show enough of what's behind the car in order to back it up far enough.

Great mileage, a lot of space.
I have had my car for over a year now and it has been amazing. I haven't had to do any major repairs on it. It is amazing on gas mileage and it is very low maintenance. The only thing I think I would say is that in rain weather when it is rainy it is a little to light so the wind pushes it pretty easy. Other than that it is awesome. Has plenty of space and if you need more you can just lay down the back seat and you have tons of room. I only have one child. So it works wonders for us. I would highly recommend this car for anyone that has to travel a lot great car for commuting.

Let me tell you some cool things about the dodge caliber.
I have had my car since 2011. It has been a really reliable car. It has gone through some crazy times. When my oldest daughter started to learn to drive I was glad that you could adjust the steering wheel for her comfort. It has a driver seat that you can pump up so that you can see better while driving as well. It rides very comfortable and smooth. There is plenty of legroom in the back. One of the things that I might change if I could would be that it sets a little low to the ground. My husband that is about 5”9 says sometimes he feels like he is falling into the car. It has a cool figure in that it has a place for you to put can soda in the glove box and the vent for your ac keeps it cold. I also like the regular outlet that is in the car for charging things.
