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 |

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 |

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 |

2013 | 2dr Coupe 420-horsepower 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Without the sunroof, there is adequate headroom, legroom, and hiproom for taller drivers (6'6"+). The seats are supportive and comfortable for longer drives. This car makes a competent "daily driver" in fair weather. see full Ford Mustang review |

2012 | 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
My dad's 2010 Camaro has much more legroom than my Mustang. 2 more inches would help a lot, though I have to admit even at 6-3, I'm still pretty comfy in the Mustang. The room would be nice to have on trips. see full Ford Mustang review |

Felt like seating position was "on the floor". Steering wheel had only tilt adjustment, no telescope. see full Ford Mustang review |
