My right knee/upper calf hits on the side of the console and sometimes gets irritated. The edge of the silver plastic portion could have been designed different/better. see full Toyota Corolla review

Car was too confined for 3 tall pre teen kids/8/11/12 years old. Not enough leg nor shoulder room, Wife and myself near 6ft tall see full Toyota Corolla review
2008 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4

Non existent, adults should not use the rear seats. Could be used as punishment for criminals. see full Toyota Corolla review
2007 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
We would have never got rid of the Corolla, but we had a baby and the rear facing car seat made the front seat occupants seat too far forward, close to the dash, to make the seat fit.The car seat made driving very uncomfortable see full Toyota Corolla review
2007 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
Front seat room was great, as long as the seats were able to be near the back of their travel. When we had to move the front seats forward for a car seat to fit in the back, it made it too uncomfortable see full Toyota Corolla review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze

2013 Chevrolet Cruze Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
The Cruze's rear seat is among the tightest in a compact sedan, and the diesel engine doesn't affect this. Though rear seat headroom is abundant, adults will feel a bit cramped even behind a driver of average height. The Jetta's rear seat has a little less headroom but far more legroom. So the best option depends on whether your rear seat passengers have long legs or long torsos. see full Chevrolet Cruze review

2013 Chevrolet Cruze Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed manual FWD
Rear seat legroom is a bit tight with the front seats fully back. see full Chevrolet Cruze review
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Unfortunately there is no leg room in the rear of the car when the front seats are a particular distant from the dashboard. So either all the people when riding in this car need to be small people like no more then 5 foot?! or you can only have two 6 foot people in it at a time. needs serious improvements there! see full Chevrolet Cruze review
