Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
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
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
2006	4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	small and cramped see full Toyota Corolla review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Kia Forte

2014 Kia Forte Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	People who need a roomy rear seat don't often buy coupes. So with the Civic Si the coupe is an inch and a half shorter (in both height and length) than the sedan, which translates to nearly three inches less headroom and nearly five inches less legroom in back, making it a very tight fit for even modestly sized adults. Those who do want a roomy rear seat in their coupe will be much happier with the Forte. Compared to the sedan, Kia shaved the Koup's roofline an inch but kept the wheelbase the same. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, I had about an inch of clearance over my head and a hand's-width ahead of my knees. Switch to the four-door body styles, and both cars are about equally roomy in back. But only Forte rear seat passengers enjoy rear air vents--in every body style. see full Kia Forte review
