Dodge Caliber

HATE it!

Heavy steering, huge blind spots (I really only felt safe driving at night, when all the headlights made it easier to see cars in other lanes), non-ergonomically designed doorways (seemed specifically designed to knock your elbow/knee/head on the doors and the side panels) - making it hard to get in and out of (I'm short, and I still had to crank my neck at an uncomfortable angle to avoid bonking my head), drives like dump truck (feel every bump and crack in the road from here to the border! Enjoy!), such poor noise insulation that listening to the radio on the highway requires a full cranking (then, when you slow down, you realize how deaf you are going to be because of the ridiculous loudness), and, to top it all off, terrible gas mileage. We went through an entire tank in three days, not really driving anywhere.

Oh, and it's ugly!

So, to sum up, DO NOT RENT THIS CAR!!!!!!! You (and your monkey) deserve better!!!!!!!
