2006 | 4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
This car is like an optical illusion - it's SOOO much bigger on the inside than it seems like from the outside! Riding in it feels more like riding in a minivan than a car. My husband is over 6' tall, and he can sit comfortably in the driver's seat with plenty of room above his head. At the same time, my son (also over 6' tall) can sit comfortably behind him with plenty of room for his knees. When my kids were younger, we fit three of them in the back, and often went on long trips (5-6 hrs in the car) with no problems. Our luggage even fit in the back! see full Scion xB review |

2014 Toyota Corolla Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | The Corolla's specs indicate rear legroom worthy of a large sedan, 41.3 inches, a substantial four more than in the Sentra and five more than in last year's Corolla. To provide this increase, Toyota stretched the car's wheelbase by four inches, taking it from the shortest in the segment to the 106.3-inch dimension shared by the Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, and Nissan. The Ford Focus, with a 104.3-inch wheelbase, is now the briefest of the bunch. The Corolla's overall length has also grown by four inches, to 182.6. Subjectively, the Corolla's advantage over the Sentra seems about half as large. Still a lot of legroom for a compact, especially in conjunction with a more comfortably positioned seat. Rear seat headroom is in much shorter supply in both cars. see full Toyota Corolla review |
