No, this is a fairly low maintenance cars.

Just spark plugs every 30k, trans service every 100k. check filters, tires, etc... That's about it.

However, front suspension may wear out a little faster and needs attention occasionally.

No, change the Fluid and Filter. But it could be a little expensive for CVT trans. as Fluid alone may cost $100.

The Caliber is no luxury vehicle, but I think they are pretty good economy daily driver beater.
