2014 Ford C-MAX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
There's plenty of space for adults in the back seat of the C-MAX. But the seat is mounted too low to provide thigh support, and between this and the angle of the floor I could find no comfortable way to position my legs and feet. There's a huge amount of headroom, so this was not the limiting factor. Instead, the seat seems to be so low to enable a flat floor when it is folded without requiring that the seat bottom be folded separately from the seat back. Combine the low seat with a high beltline (bottom of the side windows), and children can't see out well. see full Ford C-MAX review |

2013 Toyota Corolla Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | The Corolla's specs indicate rear legroom worthy of a large sedan, 41.3 inches, a substantial four more than in the Sentra and five more than in last year's Corolla. To provide this increase, Toyota stretched the car's wheelbase by four inches, taking it from the shortest in the segment to the 106.3-inch dimension shared by the Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, and Nissan. The Ford Focus, with a 104.3-inch wheelbase, is now the briefest of the bunch. The Corolla's overall length has also grown by four inches, to 182.6. Subjectively, the Corolla's advantage over the Sentra seems about half as large. Still a lot of legroom for a compact, especially in conjunction with a more comfortably positioned seat. Rear seat headroom is in much shorter supply in both cars. see full Toyota Corolla review |
