I'm tall (6'1" or 183cm) - and I have an abnormally long back. The Honda Jazz (or Honda Fit) (2002-2014) is one of the few cars I can comfortably sit in the back seat. In most small cars - and some large cars - I touch the roof. Plus, the origamiversatility of the seating, conversion into storage is brilliant - and better than many far larger cars.

Only 'just' adequate for me at 6'1"/183cm. Taller or longer-limbed drivers would have problems, probably. Headroom is excellent.

On paper, the Malibu's rear seat is only a little tighter than those in the 2008-2012 sedan and in competing cars. In person, rear knee room would only be marginally competitive in the compact sedan segment. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, my shins graze the front seatbacks. GM is rushing some revised seats to market. But if past attempts to fix a cramped rear seat are any indication, this won't make a substantial difference. The rear seat in the Ford Fusion is roomier, if also short of the segment's quasi-limos.

This is tight if front seats are postioned at or close to the back of their range; shorter wheelbase in this model compared to prior version. Rear seat access is excellent (i.e, for infant car seats, small item transport).
