2013 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 |

I have a problem with headroom. So many cars give me less than a half inch from my scalp to the frame on the sunroof. That hurts over bumps, not to mention what my hair looks like when I get out. GLK has over an inch of space for me. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review |

If you are 6' plus like me, you will have to adjust the front seat forward if you want passengers to ride with you unless they are quite small. But this is a perfect city hauler for a single or couple. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review |

When the front seats are positioned comfortably aft for a six footer, the second row passengers have way too little leg room. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review |

Wife and I are 5.9 and 5.5 respectively. kids can easily kick the seat (whcih in the Benz you want there feet off things). Not bad in sense it feels roomy when in it, but if you are looking for LOTS of space, look elsewhere. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review |

We've only had the GLK-350 for a week. The backseat seems a little on the small side. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review |
