How long do dodges last???

Question

I'm interested in buying a dodge calibor but im not shur how long it will last or how reliable it will be???

Answer 1

It will be very reliable if you take care of it and perform all the manufactures specified preventative maintenance.  I myself currently have a 1998 Dodge Neon with 216000 miles on it.  All I have done to it is preventative maintenance.  So you will be fine getting a Dodge Caliber.  

Answer 2

That vehicle is basically a Mitsubishi and they don't have a very long lifespan. Go with Chevy, Ford, Honda, Toyota, or VW. You will be pleased.

Answer 3

....as long as you take care of them.

Chrysler products don't have the best reputation "on the street" for reliability, but keep in mind that any car built today is typically more reliable than any car built even just 10-15 years ago.  

Most cars built today will last a very long time as long as you keep up with the required regular maintenance items listed in the owner's manual no matter who manufactured it.  

Answer 4

You will be disappointed, Dodge vehicles do not last as long as Toyota, Honda or sadly even Ford these days. Look around and see if any other type of vehicle sparks an interest. Inside rumors say Dodge may go out of business the gas problems and poor economic state have hurt them BADLY, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere, by 80,000 this vehicle will be TRASH, if not sooner. Toyota Matrix is similar and will provide you with reliable transportation for a long time.

Answer 5

they are average reliability if you buy the basic models with no AWD.  the higher models and awd models are below average.  

they are one of the poorer cars in this class for reliability and fuel economy.  they also don't drive as well as the other cars in the class.

some cars that are the same class but drive better and get better fuel economy while offering better reliability.

the last one is easily the sportiest car in this class.

cars that drive better and offer better reliability but about the same fuel economy.
