Either young children for longer drives or most adults for trips below 30-40 miles each way. Just a "small car" (though with more rear-room that Lexus 250-350 4-door series!). see full BMW 1-Series review |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Impractical for adults for anything but short runs see full BMW 1-Series review |

| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Seats are comfortable, adjustable, and sit high to give the driver and passenger a good view of the road ahead, and are wide and not narrow like you find in the competition. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
no other small car provides rear passenger comfort like the Hyundai Elantra Touring. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |
| 2009 | 4dr Wagon 141-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The Front Seats have plenty of room, I am 6'4"and find there is a lot of room. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |
| 2009 | 4dr Wagon 141-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Being quite a tall guy one of my favourite tests is to set the front seat in my position and then get in the back seat. In the touring I have at least 4" of knee room. Great for long trips. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |
