2015 Fiat 500 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2015 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Rear seating is very cramped, and the ease of entry/exit is poor. Think of the rear seats as emergency seating- like a Porsche 911, and you get the idea. No one will want to travel across town in the rear seats. Forget a road trip entirely. see full Fiat 500 review |
2015 | 2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Roomy in front but narrow. With two people in front you're bound to rub shoulders or arms when using the arm rests. see full Fiat 500 review |

I would not put anyone on the rear seats. Maybe very short people for short distances. see full Fiat 500 review |
2015 Chevrolet SS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2015 | Despite its slightly more compact exterior, the Chevrolet SS has a roomier back seat than the Dodge Charger. Rear headroom is in unexpectedly short supply in the latter. The Chevrolet also has a couple more inches of rear hiproom, so three adults won't have to get quite as cozy in its back seat. Both cars have about 16 cubic feet of trunk space. A good amount, but you'll find as much in most midsize sedans. Unlike the Charger's, the SS's rear seat cannot fold to expand the trunk. But a pass-through in the center is far larger than most. see full Chevrolet SS review |

Year | Comment | |
The front seats in the Chevrolet SS are comfortable. They also look like they'd provide generous lateral support, but don't, at least not for those of us who aren't built like linebackers. Thankfully the upper seat back features some synthetic suede trim, and this prevents sliding in hard turns. Still, a car with such high handling limits should have seats with much larger and more effective side bolsters--like those available in the Dodge Charger. see full Chevrolet SS review |
