2016 Chevrolet Trax Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	There's much more room inside the Trax than many people expect given its compact exterior. At 5-9, I could sit behind myself with a few inches of knee room to spare. But if the people in the front seats are taller than me, those in the back seat better be shorter. The Renegade and 500X have about the same amount of rear knee room as the Trax. They have a couple inches more shoulder room, though, so fitting three people in back is a little less of a squeeze. (It will still help if they enjoy physical contact with one another.) The Honda HR-V isn't wider, but does have a few more inches of rear legroom. On the other hand, the rear seats in the Nissan JUKE and MINI Countryman are tighter than that in the Trax. see full Chevrolet Trax review

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
