2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	2dr Coupe turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	It is small and crampy. A 6 ft person will not enjoy the backseat. It is good for kids and pre teens. However the boot (trunk) is quite small compared to a honda civi. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review

2010	2dr Coupe turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual RWD	The rear seat is only good for children & midgets, but its a sports car & most rear seats give up head room in this category of car. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review

2010	2dr Coupe turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual RWD	Rear seat room is horrble for a car this long, a RX-8 that is almost 10 inches shorter can easily fit people in the back better. Headroom is non-existent. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review

2017 Subaru WRX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2016	4dr Sedan turbocharged 268hp 2.0L H4 6-speed manual AWD	Anyone whose owned a previous-gen WRX knows rear seat space, especially leg room, as "OK" at best. Subaru has revised the rear seats to where there is now more leg room for the lucky passengers in the rear. With the driver seat adjusted to how I sit (I'm 6-feet tall and have a more upright seating position), there is about 1.5 inches of space between my knees and the driver seat back (vs. no space on the previous gen!). Comfort is pretty good, although the seats take on more of a lean on the seat back, which may/may not jive well with your passengers backs. see full Subaru WRX review
