#23 of 24 Keep it! by 77mac77 Jun 24, 2009 (9:32 am)
I've got 35,000 miles on my '08 Dodge Caliber RT AWD. The ABS went out-- replaced under warranty when the car was about five months old. Had two lug bolts pop-- replaced for free... live in GERMANY, and drive the car +/- 100MPH all the time. Great car. I DO keep the backseat down and out of the way-- at my height [and no kids] it just blocks my view trying to see over the backseat headrests. Wouldn't trade my car for ANY rice-burner. Period.

Replying to: 77mac77 (Jun 24, 2009 9:32 am) I guess that I bought my car during an unusual period of American history: 1.} -- I paid cash. 2.} -- I do NOT qualify for any of those stimulus-checks since my wife's German. 3.} -- I did NOT get $4,500 for BUYING my AWD 2008 Dodge Caliber, RT. 4.} -- Despite Consumer's Digest; Car & Driver; et al HATING American cars, I bought a Chrysler. 5.} -- I live in Europe-- there ARE other choices. ................................................................................- ....................................................... THAT said, my 2008 Dodge Caliber, All-Wheel Drive, RT-- with 40,000 miles-- is S-T-I-L-L being driven at 100 to 120 MPH, for 100-miles, daily. Like I said before, at MY height, it's best to keep the backseat down because of blind-spots, but, OTHERWISE, excellent car!
