So, my '08 Mazda 5 had to take a trip to the dealership to have a recall fixed (something to do with the power steering). They gave me a loaner car. It is an 08 Dodge Caliber, and I can say that there is not a single thing about this car that I like.
The drivers seat does not adjust very well for a petite (4'11") person like myself, and I feel like I am sitting on the ground and can't see out of the windows.
Installing car seats is a royal PITA! There is not any room to maneuver, LATCH was useless because it wouldn't get tight enough, and I had to use seatbelt install. There is also this weird middle shoulder belt that cannot be unbuckled, and interfered with the tether on my Frontier.
Cargo space is non existent. It is a hatchback, and has less room in the cargo area than my 5 does with the 3rd row seats up! I went Christmas shopping today with the girls and had to stop halfway, make a trip home to unload, and then go get the rest.
I definitely wouldn't recommend this car to anyone with children.
