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
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Fiat 500

2015 Fiat 500 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2015 2dr Hatch turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Rear seating is very cramped, and the ease of entry/exit is poor. Think of the rear seats as emergency seating- like a Porsche 911, and you get the idea. No one will want to travel across town in the rear seats. Forget a road trip entirely. see full Fiat 500 review
2015 2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Roomy in front but narrow. With two people in front you're bound to rub shoulders or arms when using the arm rests. see full Fiat 500 review
2015 2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD
I would not put anyone on the rear seats. Maybe very short people for short distances. see full Fiat 500 review
