What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Kia Rio

2015 Kia Rio Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Subaru WRX

2015 Subaru WRX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2015 The Subaru WRX has always been fun to drive. But it used to be cramped inside, especially in the back seat. This is no longer an issue. The new car has more rear seat legroom than the one-size-up Legacy had during its 2005-2009 glory days. Unless your friends and family are tall, they'll fit in back. While the GTI's back seat is nearly as roomy, the Focus ST's isn't in the same ballpark. If you want rear air vents for your passengers, though, you'll have to get the VW or the Ford. Subaru doesn't offer them in the WRX. see full Subaru WRX review

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
