TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Ford Fiesta

2013 Ford Fiesta Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Just as the Ford Fiesta has some clear strengths, it also has some clear weaknesses. Its rear seat, though comfortably positioned well off the floor, is the tightest in the segment. At 5-9, I can barely squeeze behind myself. The Fit's rear seat is far roomier. see full Ford Fiesta review

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
