I can set the front seat in a comfortable location for myself and still have room behind me for a rear seat passenger. Seat can be positioned for a more chair-like seating position. see full Dodge Challenger review |

Larger/wider back seat with capability of handling modern child seats. Adequate space for occasional adult use of back seat. see full Dodge Challenger review |

With the tilt/telescope steering wheel and the larger interior room vs. its competitors this car is easily adjusted to fit the driver and I get out still feeling good after all-day drives. see full Dodge Challenger review |

2011 | 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |

2013 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |
at 6' 3" the rear seating with sun roof is a little tight. If you are taller than me do not plan to spend much time in the rear. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review |
