TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Scion iA

2016 Scion iA Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
Sitting behind my 5-9 self in the Scion iA, I have about an inch of knee room, which is an inch more than I have in the Fiesta. While other small sedans don't tend to be much better, the Nissan Versa has a far roomier rear seat. Note that while a car must be nearly the best if not the best in an area to warrant a "why to buy," it doesn't have to be nearly the worst to warranty a "why not to buy," only not good. see full Scion iA review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Subaru WRX

2015 Subaru WRX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2015 The Subaru WRX has always been fun to drive. But it used to be cramped inside, especially in the back seat. This is no longer an issue. The new car has more rear seat legroom than the one-size-up Legacy had during its 2005-2009 glory days. Unless your friends and family are tall, they'll fit in back. While the GTI's back seat is nearly as roomy, the Focus ST's isn't in the same ballpark. If you want rear air vents for your passengers, though, you'll have to get the VW or the Ford. Subaru doesn't offer them in the WRX. see full Subaru WRX review

Anyone whose owned a previous-gen WRX knows rear seat space, especially leg room, as "OK" at best. Subaru has revised the rear seats to where there is now more leg room for the lucky passengers in the rear. With the driver seat adjusted to how I sit (I'm 6-feet tall and have a more upright seating position), there is about 1.5 inches of space between my knees and the driver seat back (vs. no space on the previous gen!). Comfort is pretty good, although the seats take on more of a lean on the seat back, which may/may not jive well with your passengers backs. see full Subaru WRX review
