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 |

Seats slide back and forth to change cargo vs passenger space for flexible loads. Lots of leg room. Panoramic sunroof and air vent makes it a pleasure. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review |
