What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Scion iQ

2013 Scion iQ Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
1) Center console is too wide - not enough room for me to stretch out. 2) Seat can be raised and lowered (good) but at its lowest position it feels like the cushion leans down making me feel like my body slips forward. 3) Arm rest on door too high. see full Scion xB review
