| 2010 | 4dr Coupe 232-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD |
The R3 Recaro seats had side bolsters that were a bit tight for us. I am below average in size as a male, and my wife is also very small and we found the bolsters cut into our hips far more than was comfortable. The seats are racing oriented only. see full Mazda RX-8 review |

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 |
