2006 Dodge Caliber SE from North America - Off Topic Comments

Don't think I'm obsessive enough about MPG. Because Americans don't care about the planet, they don't care about their pollution & the earth is reacting in complex ways that won't be good for many people... maybe even you, who seem rich enough to isolate yourself from the worst pollutions.

As for the stereo, I'm a musician & love good sound.

Believe me, I am not "rich enough to isolate myself" from polution" (however one would do that)??? and I certainly care about good gas mileage, but I do believe that over 30 mpg from your Caliber is very good indeed. I have no idea how you made those assumptions from my previous comment.

I certainly hope that the recent problem you had with it, was just an isolated issue and that it will provide thousands and thousands of miles of trouble free service.

Now I'm off to Starbucks for a $5 cup of coffee and a $10 muffin, I just can't decide whether to take the H1 or the Maybach.

Happy Driving!

I don't feel too secure about buying a car with CVT either, but I DEFINITELY would be wary of buying a MERCEDES!! They may have great ego appeal, but fully EIGHT of the Mercedes vehicle lines are listed as "worse than average" in reliability by Consumer Reports.

Mercedes has taken dramatic steps to increase reliability and the newer models are supposed to be much better and more "mercedes" in quality.

But only time will tell if this is true or just some public relations stunt.
