With a 6-foot driver, rear seat room is barely adequate for adults, for short trips. This is typical for this car segment, though. see full BMW 3-Series review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro

2017 Chevrolet Camaro Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
Neither rear seat has enough headroom for someone of even my modest (5-9) height. I could scrunch down and ride back there for a little while, but I'd almost rather walk. Getting into and out of the back seat pose additional challenges. If you want a somewhat similar car with an adult-worthy back seat, check out the much larger, much heavier Dodge Challenger. see full Chevrolet Camaro review

2017 Chevrolet Camaro Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2017 2dr Coupe 455-horsepower 6.2L V8
8-speed shiftable automatic RWD
The problem isn't so much the room available in the front seat -- once you're settled, it's fine. It's getting in and out. This car sits low, and has short doors. Getting in takes a concerted effort to not bop your head on the doorframe. Getting out sometimes takes putting your hand on the ground and falling out, then jumping to your feet like "I meant to do that!" Come to think of it, there have been a couple of times that a large-ish dip in the road has made my head actually hit the ceiling. On the other hand, this particular car has the sunroof, which reduces headroom. Still, I'm only 5'10", and I can't wear a hat in the Camaro. see full Chevrolet Camaro review

There isn't any. Just think of it as a package shelf with seatbelts. see full Chevrolet Camaro review
