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

2011 Ford Fiesta Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

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

2006 Ford Explorer Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8
6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
Have driven from Maryland to Florida and back a couple of times, as well as 3-4 hours trips routinely. Seats are comfortable with no backache and don't have to stop every couple of hours due to fatigue. Could drive and be comfortable all day long. see full Ford Explorer review
2005 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
Lots of room. Great even in the 3rd rear bench see full Ford Explorer review
