TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Chevrolet Trax

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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Pontiac Vibe

2006 Pontiac Vibe Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	. see full Pontiac Vibe review
2005	4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Leather seats have been durable and relatively comfortable although no lumbar control, which would have welcomed. Despite some reviews saying driving position is odd, it fits me just fine and I like being able to simply get it--I don't have to climb up as in a SUV and I don't have to get down, as in a sedan. Rear seat room is amazing for such a small car. see full Pontiac Vibe review

2006 Pontiac Vibe Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	It would only fit the 2 kids in their seat. There is a 3rd belt, but the car seats took up the space where the adult would go between them. see full Pontiac Vibe review
2006	4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Heating/cooling of the rear seats is poor. see full Pontiac Vibe review
2005	4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	The driver's seat lacks lumbar support. I made a minor modification to significantly improve the driver seat: I shaped a piece of upholstery foam to create lumbar support. I fit it under the seat cloth so it looks factory. Without it I was slouching and had back aches within 30 minutes of driving. My test drive was 10 minutes. My wife found an inadequate situation on the passenger seat. She needs a very upright seat back. That makes the headrest push her head forward. She uses a 2" thick piece of foam on the upper 2/3rd of the back rest to create a little space between her head and the headrest. see full Pontiac Vibe review
