I am just trying to see how many caliber owners have as many miles on their caliber as we do. We bought our caliber in 08. Its an 07 caliber with 213,425 miles on it. I even got 190,000 miles on the stock plugs. The only reason that I even changed them was because we thought we were having problems with the cvt. And because this was the first car that we owned with coil packs, I did not know it had plugs. I had no problem getting the stock NGK plugs out and we were still getting 28 mpg. I replaced them with denso iridium plugs. I would say that 90% of the miles on the caliber are all highway miles. The only parts I have replaced are all 4 lower control arms, front struts, driver side inner tie rod, driver side rear idler arm, regular oil changes every 3500-4000 miles, new brakes every year and a set of tires about every year.
Our 09 SXT only has about 37K on it. The wide works just a few miles from the house. No major issues. One leaky rear ( I think) strut replaced under warranty at about 18K. Oil changed every 3K and new NGK plugs @ 30K.
2008 Dodge Caliber bought used with 30,000 miles on it in 2009. now has 210,000+ with only regular maintenance and repairs to struts and such and fixed oil leak of upper gasket. It's a trooper.
