2016 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

2013 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	Interior dimensions haven't changed, so the 2013 Civic continues to have one of the segment's roomiest rear seats (though not in the same league as the VW Jetta). A barely there floor hump and a broad cushy center seat render the Civic more capable than most compact sedans of seating three adults, though the rear cushion is somewhat low and hip room is in short supply. You'll find more shoulder room but less rear legroom in the Dart's back seat. Midsize sedans often don't offer much more rear legroom, but their seats tend to be more comfortably positioned. see full Honda Civic review
