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 |

The rear seats have limited leg room. A forward facing child car seat (Safety 1st Air Protect) is fine but to install it rear facing would make the passenger seat almost unusable and being a 4 seat there is no option to install in the middle of the rear which i find allows in many cars a good way to keep everyone safe & comfortable. see full Chevrolet Volt review |

Front seats are semi-hard and covered in strange material. I could see people larger than myself having issues with them. see full Chevrolet Volt review |
| 2012 | 4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD |
No power seat in a $46k car?? Get real, Chevy. Once you get used to them, though, both front and rear seats are comfortable for up to an hour or so. Longer than that and I need different lower back support that it doesn't have. But they are heated which is nice and it's comfortable leather. A few tweaks and/or an optional chair & this would be a non-issue. see full Chevrolet Volt review |
