Can fit my two young children with their car seats and my teenage son has room to sit in the back and text for hours. More comfortable seats than my extended cab 1500. see full Hyundai Elantra review |

I find it to be very comfortable. The back seat lacks leg room for three people to fit comfortably. If an adult is in the front then the person behind has little leg room. see full Hyundai Elantra review |

2007 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
The back seat is too small for most adults. I hadn't thought about it much when I bought the car, but it became apparent. I'd take friends to lunch and they are uncomfortable.Even ifa personplans on sitting small children in the back, they grow and the useful life of the car is affected. I wish the Europeans would figure that out. see full Audi A3 review |
