It's hard to read sentences without periods or commas.

Anyway, go for the Civic. It has higher caliber than the Caliber.

This is like asking do I want to bang a good looking chick, or go home and whack off. The Caliber? Really? At least go with the Jeep version, since it has a bit of manliness to it. If you don't want another Honda get a Corolla or Sentra. Shit, just get another Fit.

Have you driven a Caliber? I had one as a rental once and they are awful cars. Hardly any trunk space, cramped seating, slow, poor handling, poor visibility, cheap interior, lousy gas mileage. I honestly don't know how they managed to make a car that size with so little interior space. And yes, it's a Chrysler, so it will self-destruct at 80,000 miles.

Buy the Civic.

Guess your pocketbook will have to make that decision, not you! (j/k)

don't forget chrysler as a whole company is not doing well right now... so in the long run that warranty might be worthless anyway. they might either go out of business or be sold off to some european company

dodge is crap imo....no matter how fast it is.

I rather have a slow car that last 20 yrs than a fast car that last 5 yrs.

but that's just my mind set.

Yeah, I like the Forester. They start around 20k, are rated at 26MPG on the highway, reviewers traditionally observe around 30MPG. I'll take my 38MPG and lower overall cost to own with the Fit....but them Subie's are nice!

Well I have test drove a caliber & it's kinda drives like plain ole bread. Well it seemed okay for just a basic car, but it was just basic. Plus I lost my trust in chrysler a long time ago when I had turbo PT. If you go with the caliber, you would definitely be shooting yourself, (which I hope not, I don't wish that for anybody not even for Barney Fife, lol) But anyways, just go with a Civic. Even a 10+ year old civic would do just fine.

Now go to a Dodge message board, conduct the same poll and combine the results.
