What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Fiat 500

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
2015	2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I would not put anyone on the rear seats. Maybe very short people for short distances. see full Fiat 500 review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Ford Fiesta

2011 Ford Fiesta Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	Its cramped, but seems about the same as any other car in its size range. It was easier to get in and out of compared to a Mazda 2 and about the same as current generation Prius C. I wouldn't take anyone long distances in the rear, but I didn't expect to. We have a 2009 Prius which is our long distance carry people car. I wanted something with good handling and economy that was well built and that's what I got. see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	Smallish like all b-segment cars. see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	I was told that it is comfortable for a short ride but after 45 minutes my passengers were complaining about lack of room and comfort. see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Rear seat narrow and limited headroom see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	while it felt my family of 5 comfortably, it might not fit others.... see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	Rear seat legroom is limited, especially if front seat passengers adjust their seats rearward. see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Basically, it is a two seater. Car seats and small children will fit ok in the back. Essentially it is a great commuter car. see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	rear seat leg room is tight. see full Ford Fiesta review
2011	4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	Very tiny. Had to squeeze in. Not very comfortable for long term. Feels a bit crowded. see full Ford Fiesta review
