2014 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 |

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 |

2008 | 4dr Sedan 303-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Front of the GXP is great - heated leather seats, plenty of seat adjustments, and the controls are all pointed at the driver. Even on a 20 hour trip, I had no issues with discomfort. see full Pontiac Grand Prix review |
