| 2012 | 2dr Hatch 121-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Rear seat room is extremely limited but it's a Mini...not a mini van! see full Mini Hardtop review |
| 2012 | 2dr Hatch 121-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
We're tall and have room to spare. see full Mini Hardtop review |
| 2011 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 181hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Small children, petite women and Hobbits may sit in the back on short trips. Otherwise, forget it. It's a MINI! see full Mini Hardtop review |

| 2015 Fiat 500 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||

| 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 |
