2014 Chevrolet Cruze Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The Cruze's rear seat is among the tightest in a compact sedan, and the diesel engine doesn't affect this. Though rear seat headroom is abundant, adults will feel a bit cramped even behind a driver of average height. The Jetta's rear seat has a little less headroom but far more legroom. So the best option depends on whether your rear seat passengers have long legs or long torsos. see full Chevrolet Cruze review

2008	4dr Hatch turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Small car, little room, nuff said. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review
2007	4dr Sedan 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	I know it is a smaller sedan, but even with the front seats shoved up to that your knees are in the dashboard, that leaves just enough room for an average human in back. Under normal front seat conditions, crushed knees in back. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review
