FYI, I bought a Buick Rendevous off of Autotrader.com. I bought the loaded version, CXL it has the fold away third row seat. Loaded the way mine is, brand new would have been $32K!! Mine was a program car, 2 years old and I paid 15K and it had a 3 year warranty!! I LOVE it!!!

Dodge Caliber. I have one and I love it. It is like a small SUV or a big car. The back seats fold down and there is plenty of room for your crate(s). They start at $14,000 (i think) Mine was like $20,000 with all the extras and taxes, etc. I love mine!
 
I dont have the case ( i want one) what do you have now? the caliber is a low hatch back. it isnt going to be any harder than with a regular hatch-back car and it will be much easier than an SUV or car with trunk. I love it!
 
I have an 03 foucs right now...... it's a pain in the but to get it into my backseat!
