What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Toyota Corolla

2009 Toyota Corolla Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	I am 6 foot tall, 250 lbs and have plenty of room in the front seat. The driver's position holds me well and i do not feel like i am falling out of the seat when cornering. The passenger seat sits higher than i want, but there is plenty of room there as well. see full Toyota Corolla review

2010	4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Small and cram even for 5ft 6in male. Can pull back seat for more comfort but makes back seat even less comfortable and cram. see full Toyota Corolla review
2010	4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Since front seat feel cram at initial spacing it cause most front seat user to pull back seat for more comfort but makes back seat even less comfortable and cram. see full Toyota Corolla review
2010	4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	A tad too cramped. see full Toyota Corolla review
2010	4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Just not as comfortable as I would have liked. see full Toyota Corolla review
2009	4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	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
2008	4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	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 4-speed automatic FWD	Non existent, adults should not use the rear seats. Could be used as punishment for criminals. see full Toyota Corolla review

2014 Fiat 500 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I like to drive small cars, but I am a large man. (6'3" and about 290lbs.) I love the seating position of the Fiat, as it sits higher, so I don't have to bend down as far to get in, as on the Mini Cooper or the Miatas I used to drive. The driving position is more upright, which I find more comfortable as well. The base model (Pop) seats are comfortable, though I would like to have the leather seats of the "Lounge" model. Ride quality is very good. There is no harshness and I easily rate it better than the Honda Civic I traded for it (2006) and many other, larger cars I drove. It is also one of the quieter cars I've owned. see full Fiat 500 review
2013	2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Front seat very nice for money.. see full Fiat 500 review

2014 Fiat 500 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2015	2dr Hatch turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Rear seating is very cramped, and the ease of entry/exit is poor. Think of the rear seats as emergency seating- like a Porsche 911, and you get the idea. No one will want to travel across town in the rear seats. Forget a road trip entirely. see full Fiat 500 review
2015	2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Roomy in front but narrow. With two people in front you're bound to rub shoulders or arms when using the arm rests. see full Fiat 500 review
2015	2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I would not put anyone on the rear seats. Maybe very short people for short distances. see full Fiat 500 review
2013	2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	As previously mentioned, I would not want to use my rear seat on a regular basis. It is tight in back, and I think of it as emergency seating. see full Fiat 500 review
2013	2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Yeah, don't try to ride in the back if you are as big as me. But my kids 8 & 11 fit just fine. My family of 4 has taken the Fiat on several small family trips. I wouldn't drive with them more than a couple of hours each way, as they start to get antsy, but the kids love the car for short trips. see full Fiat 500 review
2013	2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Rear seat is what it is..Small but bigger then you think.. I'm 5'9 and there is still leg room behind me..But for any real distance I would think it's better for kids.. This isn't really a "Con" as your buyig a small car for fun and mileage not leg room... You think this is small try a mini-Cooper back seat see full Fiat 500 review
