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

Yeah, the back is small but still big enough to handle for the poor rear seat passengers. see full Lexus IS review

This is a small car. Interior seating is comfortable but tight. Unless the driver is very short, forget about the back seat. see full Lexus IS review

Cramped rear seat. Minimal knee and leg room when there is a front driver/passenger. Minimal room for the toddler when sitting in a car seat. Seats 2 small kids at best. see full Lexus IS review
