Dodge Caliber reviews

Pros: Excellent suspension, engine works perfectly, I put on a gas system and drove more than 140000 km. Good original factory audio system.
Cons: Poor sound insulation of the floor, which can be felt when driving on the highway. Low beam lamps need to be changed at dealer service as access is inconvenient and time consuming. Easier to pay €20 for replacement than to do it yourself
