| 2015 Ford Fiesta Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| Just as the Ford Fiesta has some clear strengths, it also has some clear weaknesses. Its rear seat, though comfortably positioned well off the floor, is the tightest in the segment. At 5-9, I can barely squeeze behind myself. The Fit's rear seat is far roomier. see full Ford Fiesta review | ||
