2014 Dodge Dart Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Dart's generous size pays few dividends in its back seat, where legroom, though a bit more abundant than in the Focus, is in shorter supply than inside some other smaller, lighter competitors. The average adult will fit behind the average adult with a little room to spare. The seat itself isn't quite as comfortable as the higher, larger, better-shaped cushion in the Focus. see full Dodge Dart review |

2013 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Seats are comfortable for long periods even in the base Aero. Various models have different headrest designs, some better and worse. Nice ergonomics, generally. see full Dodge Dart review |

Very large backseat for class. see full Dodge Dart review |
2013 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
There is plenty enough room for me. My 6'5" friend is comfortable sitting in my Dart and says there is more leg and head room than his Corvette. I'd say this is a big plus for perspective buyers. see full Dodge Dart review |

2016 Chevrolet Trax Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
There's much more room inside the Trax than many people expect given its compact exterior. At 5-9, I could sit behind myself with a few inches of knee room to spare. But if the people in the front seats are taller than me, those in the back seat better be shorter. The Renegade and 500X have about the same amount of rear knee room as the Trax. They have a couple inches more shoulder room, though, so fitting three people in back is a little less of a squeeze. (It will still help if they enjoy physical contact with one another.) The Honda HR-V isn't wider, but does have a few more inches of rear legroom. On the other hand, the rear seats in the Nissan JUKE and MINI Countryman are tighter than that in the Trax. see full Chevrolet Trax review |
