It was fine on the test drive, but after a few weeks I started to dislike the way it drives. I'm not concerned about the gas mileage. It's my least favorite car i've ever owned.

 

Follow-up on my SE Caliber. Owned now for 13 months w/18000 miles. It is 100% functioning...not a creak, squeak or rattle has developed! My year long mileage has topped out because of warm weather &high energy summer mix gasfor an overall yearly average of 31.4 MPG w/50 tanks of gas. I have a feeling it may go years without any problems(crossing fingers).

Long trips are comfy to the max with the CVT giving a magic carpet ride & seats very easy on my bad back.
