What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Ford Fiesta

2012 Ford Fiesta Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Narrow car with narrow seats. If you are a taller/bigger person, expect that the seats will feel like doll furniture after an hour. see full Ford Fiesta review

2012 Ford Fiesta Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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 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	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 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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze

2011 Chevrolet Cruze Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Sedan turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Unfortunately there is no leg room in the rear of the car when the front seats are a particular distant from the dashboard. So either all the people when riding in this car need to be small people like no more then 5 foot?! or you can only have two 6 foot people in it at a time. needs serious improvements there! see full Chevrolet Cruze review
