No rear seat. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review |

It's OK for the driver, but there's not much room for the feet of the passenger. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review |
2017 Kia Niro Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2017 | The Kia Niro's compact exterior dimensions somehow contain plentiful headroom and legroom in both rows. Beyond the measurements, the rear seat is positioned at an unusually comfortable height, affording both excellent leg support and an open view forward over the front seats. see full Kia Niro review |
