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

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Can fit my two young children with their car seats and my teenage son has room to sit in the back and text for hours. More comfortable seats than my extended cab 1500. see full Hyundai Elantra review
2007	4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Rear set has an upright feel, mor like a couch than most cars, esp GM products. see full Hyundai Elantra review
2007	4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	I love the heated seats. Sitting in the seats for long drives is very comfortable. see full Hyundai Elantra review
2007	4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Lots of leg room, even for a full size adult. see full Hyundai Elantra review
2006	0	I think the car is pretty comfortable for an average person. see full Hyundai Elantra review
2006	4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	I find it to be very comfortable. The back seat lacks leg room for three people to fit comfortably. If an adult is in the front then the person behind has little leg room. see full Hyundai Elantra review
