Man the dealer downtown FINALLY got some Calibers (SXT Sport Silver with blue inserts) in to where I could sit down inside one and explore the car. To me, the inside feels small, yet has lots of room. I know thats kinda weird, but thats the way it seemed to me. The 2 tone seats (gray/blue) look very good and were very comfortable. Again, there seemed to be lots leg room and I never felt cramped even though the inside felt small. I got in the back and again, seemed like there was plenty of leg room and the seats were equally conformable.

I liked all of the neat features of the inside, drink holder, flash light, etc as well. Very cool!

My one question is, is it possible to move the driver seat up and down, or can it only go front and back? I'm the kind of person who likes to sit low rather than up in the air, but where the seat was set at, I could easily manage.

Overall, a sweet *** car and I can't wait to order one for myself.

 

I checked an SXT today and it does seem small too. However there is alot of leg and head room. On the model I sat and drove there was no adjustment for the height. I second the comfort of the seats they are great.

 

It is more comfortable than I thought it was going to be. I think its a bit more comfortable than my '02 'kota.

 

I think with power seats it should go up and down...

 

I thought the seats were very comfortable. Very impressed. Even though it seemed small inside, it really wasn't.

 

Yeah, people seem to be getting that feeling a lot. (Looks small inside but isn't..) [8D]

 

Leg room, compared to the Neon is short by .4 inches. The Caliber is 4 inches taller and 1 inch shorter... Width is equal I believe.

 

* DOC noted these Caliber to Neon comparisons. It seems that the Caliber is smaller in length.
o Wheelbase: 103.7/105
o Overall length: 173.8/174.4
o Overall width: 68.6/67.4
o Overall height: 60.4/56

It is slightly smaller than the Neon believe it or not. Though, it is higher obviously than the Neon. Its actually quite roomy for a "normal" sized person, it just seems small.

 

It is shorter, wider, and taller.
