Buying the 2011 Dodge Caliber
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 Dodge Caliber for sale by us right now. Here is the 2011 Dodge Caliber for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Caliber
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. NHTSA has 165 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, suspension and engine. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Plan on about 26 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.8 L/100 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $40.92 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the Caliber makes sense
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
The Caliber in everyday use
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. Its 453 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the Caliber tells you more than any review. Rent the Caliber first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.64 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
