Shoulda got a Matrix, or it's GM clone Pontiac Vibe. (The interiors are dead on identical.) The front passenger seat folds all the way down and I get 83" clear space. My '03 Vibe has 130k mi some of which were put on carrying two Hydeouts.
G.M. management, in their well demonstrated wisdom, killed one of their most critically acclaimed models, rather than calling it the Chevy Vibe and moving on.
