2012 Scion iQ Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2013 | 2dr Hatch 94-horsepower 1.3L I4 CVT FWD |
For such a small car, it's surprising roomy up front. I'm 6' 200 lbs and have no problem getting in. Comfort is good with plenty of head room. Back seat is very tiny but one person could sit there fairly comfortably by sitting sideways as the front passenger seat sits a little farther forward than the driver seat. Passenger seat has plenty of room since there is no glove box that gets in the way. see full Scion iQ review |

Rear seat room is pretty small. An adult would have to sit sideways to make use of it (our dealer sat back there during our test drive. If there are more than one or two people who will be using this car at one time, it's probably not the right choice. see full Scion iQ review |
2011 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2012 | 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Although the rear captain seats are quite comfortable, I do not like how they roll forward. There is a track in the floor in which the rear seats fold and slide up behind the front seats. All I notice when in the back seat is how extremely difficult it is to clean out the mud and grit and salt (I live in Canada, we use salt on our roads) that gets left behind in the track from passenger footwear. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |

The headrest position is horrible for long trips. Felt like my head was being pushed forward. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |
