The rear seats are a little snug, but bareable. However, if someone is pretty tall they might bump their head on the ceiling. see full Cadillac CTS review |

Seats were horrible. Could not find a comfortable position plus the center console along with the key fob hanging from the ignition contacted my leg. My 06 Grand Prix was much more comfortable. see full Cadillac CTS review |

Shorter wheelbase can lead to things being a little cramped in the rear. Also, no rear-seat vents for AC/heater! For shame, Cadillac... Audi figured this out long ago. see full Cadillac CTS review |

The rear seats have limited leg room. A forward facing child car seat (Safety 1st Air Protect) is fine but to install it rear facing would make the passenger seat almost unusable and being a 4 seat there is no option to install in the middle of the rear which i find allows in many cars a good way to keep everyone safe & comfortable. see full Chevrolet Volt review |

Front seats are semi-hard and covered in strange material. I could see people larger than myself having issues with them. see full Chevrolet Volt review |

No power seat in a $46k car?? Get real, Chevy. Once you get used to them, though, both front and rear seats are comfortable for up to an hour or so. Longer than that and I need different lower back support that it doesn't have. But they are heated which is nice and it's comfortable leather. A few tweaks and/or an optional chair & this would be a non-issue. see full Chevrolet Volt review |
