I have taken many long trips and the front seats never leave you with any discomfort when getting out. see full Dodge Caliber review |

With front seats all the way back, limited legroom. Not a big deal see full Dodge Caliber review |
2007 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
When front seats are sild back, very little leg room for passengers in back--even kids. see full Dodge Caliber review |

Not enough rear knee room. Hard to enter and exit the back seat. see full Dodge Caliber review |

I'm 6'3. With the seat all the way back I can't reach the pedals. I really don't need to say more. see full Buick Verano review |

If you're tall, prepare for cramping if you have anyone needing to sit behind you. I cannot explain the lack of room here. With my seat in my long range riding position (as far back as I can go with my feet still reaching the pedals) there is 1 and a half inches between the edge of the back seat and the kneeboard on the back of the drivers seat. There is no human capable of putting their leg behind that. see full Buick Verano review |
