I don't think this guy even sat in the car to say "Front seat room is good,". Last time I was getting my oil changed I sat in one in the showroom and I couldn't get the seat back far enough to feel comfortable. My Caliber has way more room in the front than the Avenger.

I sat in one not too long ago and felt that I had a wee bit more room in the Avenger, but not much. I think it was because of the repositioned arm rest. Legroom-wise, I had about the same as the Caliber.

I will say that if the Avenger was in production when I was looking for a new car, I would probably be on another forum right now...

HOWEVER,

I would have taken an Avenger because it comes in the color that closely resembles the color I want.

IE: It's that bright blue color that dodge had back in 98 & 99. THAT was a cool color. Wish the Cali was in that color.
