2012 Ford Fiesta Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

2011 4dr Hatch 120-horsepower 1.6L I4

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

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

while it felt my family of 5 comfortably, it might not fit others.... see full Ford Fiesta review

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

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

Very tiny. Had to squeeze in. Not very comfortable for long term. Feels a bit crowded. see full Ford Fiesta review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata

2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
The most obvious reason not to buy any Mazda MX-5 Miata? The thing that kept me from buying one: no back seat. The MINI Roadster also had not back seat, while the MINI Convertible and Scion FR-S have vestigial perches on which only my smallest child might sit semi-comfortably. In contrast, I can fit all three of my teenagers into my Mazda RX-8. But if my wife also wants to come along, we have to take our other car. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review
