| 2013 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 181hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Over 6ft and I need to pull the seat up two notches. All the way back my toes touch the pedals. Yippee I fit in a small car!!! see full Mini Roadster review |

| 2015 Fiat 500 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |
