2012 Mini Countryman Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV turbocharged 181hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The room was not bad, but the seat bottoms are too low and the road noise in the back seats was unbearable. see full Mini Countryman review

2015 Ford Fiesta Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Just as the Ford Fiesta has some clear strengths, it also has some clear weaknesses. Its rear seat, though comfortably positioned well off the floor, is the tightest in the segment. At 5-9, I can barely squeeze behind myself. The Fit's rear seat is far roomier. see full Ford Fiesta review
