2012 Honda CR-Z Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||

2011 | 2dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
No rear seats in the US version, which greatly reduces passenger utility. However, the storage space is much bigger than many cars in the same price range. Driver and passenger seats are otherwise adequately comfortable. see full Honda CR-Z review |

2016 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I did manage to get four people in the car but it was tight and the two in the back seat were not big adults (under 5'8"). We had to adjust the front passenger seat up a bit to make more room for the person behind. see full Kia Rio review |
