2015 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 |

Needed comfortable front seats for a large dad (@230) pounds and a tiny grandfather (@95 pounds, 4feet, 5 inches tall). These seats are the best for the comfort of such various sizes. see full Honda Odyssey review |

The captains chairs in the second row can be apart or together. It is easy to get to the third row seat. There is plenty of leg room in the second and third row seats, and plenty of room between the second row seats. see full Honda Odyssey review |

2009 | 0 | Why can't manufacturers make the passenger seat as comfortable with as many adjustments as the driver's side? see full Honda Odyssey review |

No back support, no thigh support. Seat headrests curve your spine forward. Seat shape was not the same for all four captain chairs. Quality control must be very poor. see full Honda Odyssey review |
