| 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 |

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 |

Rear seat legroom is limited, especially if front seat passengers adjust their seats rearward. 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 |

rear seat leg room is tight. see full Ford Fiesta review |

| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Seats are comfortable, adjustable, and sit high to give the driver and passenger a good view of the road ahead, and are wide and not narrow like you find in the competition. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
no other small car provides rear passenger comfort like the Hyundai Elantra Touring. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |
| 2009 | 4dr Wagon 141-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The Front Seats have plenty of room, I am 6'4"and find there is a lot of room. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |
| 2009 | 4dr Wagon 141-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Being quite a tall guy one of my favourite tests is to set the front seat in my position and then get in the back seat. In the touring I have at least 4" of knee room. Great for long trips. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |
