| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Rear seat room not as expansive as competitors. Trunk capacity could be better. see full BMW 3-Series review |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Tight for large people. Fine for kids. Smaller than a G37, much smaller than a Maxima. see full BMW 3-Series review |
| 2009 | 0 | Not much room in rear see if driver is 6 feet tall see full BMW 3-Series review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual AWD |
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 |

Limited for adults see full BMW 3-Series review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 414-horsepower 4.0L V8 7-speed automated manual RWD |
Wish the rear seats had 1" more legroom. see full BMW 3-Series review |
TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Ford Fiesta
| 2014 Ford Fiesta Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| Just as the Ford Fiesta has some clear strengths, it also has some clear weaknesses. Its rear seat, though comfortably positioned well off the floor, is the tightest in the segment. At 5-9, I can barely squeeze behind myself. The Fit's rear seat is far roomier. see full Ford Fiesta review | ||
What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Ford Fiesta
| 2014 Ford Fiesta Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Narrow car with narrow seats. If you are a taller/bigger person, expect that the seats will feel like doll furniture after an hour. see full Ford Fiesta review |
