2012 Chevrolet Malibu Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
2012 | On paper, the Malibu's rear seat is only a little tighter than those in the 2008-2012 sedan and in competing cars. In person, rear knee room would only be marginally competitive in the compact sedan segment. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, my shins graze the front seatbacks. GM is rushing some revised seats to market. But if past attempts to fix a cramped rear seat are any indication, this won't make a substantial difference. The rear seat in the Ford Fusion is roomier, if also short of the segment's quasi-limos. see full Chevrolet Malibu review |

This is tight if front seats are postioned at or close to the back of their range; shorter wheelbase in this model compared to prior version. Rear seat access is excellent (i.e, for infant car seats, small item transport). see full Chevrolet Malibu review |

I'm 6'4" tall and 60 years old. I have a tough time getting in and out due to the low roof. see full Chevrolet Malibu review |

2011 | 4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed turbocharged 365hp 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Rear seats are superior than my 1999 F150 in terms of space and the windows will go down. see full Ford F-150 review |
2010 | 4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 310-horsepower 5.4L V8 6-speed automatic RWD |
Lots of room in the rear of the cab for the kids. The rear seat easily folds up and out of the way for cargo. Lots of cup holders back there. see full Ford F-150 review |
