2012 Chevrolet Cruze Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Rear seat legroom is a bit tight with the front seats fully back. see full Chevrolet Cruze review
2012	4dr Sedan turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Unfortunately there is no leg room in the rear of the car when the front seats are a particular distant from the dashboard. So either all the people when riding in this car need to be small people like no more then 5 foot?! or you can only have two 6 foot people in it at a time. needs serious improvements there! see full Chevrolet Cruze review
