TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze
2014 Chevrolet Cruze Seat Room and Comfort: Cons |
Year | Comment |

The Cruze's rear seat is among the tightest in a compact sedan, and the diesel engine doesn't affect this. Though rear seat headroom is abundant, adults will feel a bit cramped even behind a driver of average height. The Jetta's rear seat has a little less headroom but far more legroom. So the best option depends on whether your rear seat passengers have long legs or long torsos.

Rear seat legroom is a bit tight with the front seats fully back.

The first con is the obvious one, and a deal killer for many people. While the FR-S has a barely usable rear seat, the MX-5 Miata has none at all.
