2010 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

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
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
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

2020 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2021	Though adjustments to their shape are limited to power lumbar, the new Hyundai Elantra's well-bolstered front seats fit me especially well. Your size and shape likely differ from mine, so impressions of seat comfort will vary. Whether they fit or not, in the Elantra Limited (unlike in the Forte) they are upholstered in real leather and would not appear out of place in an Audi. see full Hyundai Elantra review

2020 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Rear seat passengers enjoy abundant knee room, but those of more than middling height will find headroom and thigh support marginal at best. These weaknesses are fairly common in current compact sedans, but the Forte, with a taller, less swoopy roof line, has a more comfortably positioned rear seat and a bit more rear headroom. see full Hyundai Elantra review
