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

2015 Fiat 500 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 2dr Convertible 158-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
No rear seat. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review
2007 2dr Convertible 166-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual RWD
It's OK for the driver, but there's not much room for the feet of the passenger. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review
2006 2dr Convertible 170-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed manual RWD
Taller drivers will fit, but you have to get the seat JUST right. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review
