| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD |
Unparalleled rear seat room and comfort in this car for passengers. Should be among the easier cars of this size to put a baby seat into the back, if we have children. Our (longer and lower) 2004 Sentra paled in comparison of back seat usability. see full Nissan cube review |

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Kia Forte
| 2013 Kia Forte Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2014 | People who need a roomy rear seat don't often buy coupes. So with the Civic Si the coupe is an inch and a half shorter (in both height and length) than the sedan, which translates to nearly three inches less headroom and nearly five inches less legroom in back, making it a very tight fit for even modestly sized adults. Those who do want a roomy rear seat in their coupe will be much happier with the Forte. Compared to the sedan, Kia shaved the Koup's roofline an inch but kept the wheelbase the same. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, I had about an inch of clearance over my head and a hand's-width ahead of my knees. Switch to the four-door body styles, and both cars are about equally roomy in back. But only Forte rear seat passengers enjoy rear air vents--in every body style. see full Kia Forte review | |
