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 2014 Hyundai Elantra

2014 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2013 0 Seats mold to your body and they heat up fast which helps in winter. see full Hyundai Elantra review

2013 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 1.8L I4

This is really not a con. If they offered the option of a front passenger power seat with lumbar as an option, I along with many others would likely opt for it. see full Hyundai Elantra review
