Thinking of buying the 2010 Dodge Caliber?
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2010 Dodge Caliber before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2010 Dodge Caliber? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the Caliber
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the figures tell you
Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 9.0 L/100 km, means roughly 27 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $41.85 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Caliber
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Space and size
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. The trunk holds 538 litres by the EPA's count: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the Caliber answers more than any brochure.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
Rent it for a week before you buy
