2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Adults do not fit well in the back seat comfortably, and the rear access doors, while a cool design, lack functionality(no handle to release the door except on the inside) see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2008	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Too stiff and too upright with no adjustments see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Difficulty entering/exiting rear passenger area see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	It is uncomfortable, small, and awkardly designed. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Back seat is not built to have adults riding there. May be ok for children but is difficult to put a child seat in the rear as well. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual AWD w/low range	Cramped rear seating - putting 3 people back there would be really pushing it. The only bonus is that the rear seats fold down flat (I love that). see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Rear suicide doors are cool - unless you have to use them. Easier than no door, but hard to access for adults or kid seats. Really a 2 person back seat, 3 is not good. Rear seat visibility is poor, front view blocked and side posts take out side view. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	too small see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze

2016 Chevrolet Cruze Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	The old Chevrolet Cruze, like the Ford Focus, had a rear seat on the tight side even by compact sedan standards. According to the specs, the new one has only gained a few tenths of legroom. But the improvement feels much larger. Chevrolet claims that rear knee room (not a standard spec) has increased by two inches, and this aligns much better with my perceptions. Some competitors, including the Honda Civic, continue to offer more rear seat space. But the new Cruze's back seat could be the most comfortable in the class for two average-sized men. With a position well above the floor, the rear seat cushion provides much better thigh support than the typical sedan, much less the typical compact sedan. The Civic has a lower rear cushion and insufficient foot space under its front seats, squandering its on-paper legroom advantage. Up front the Cruze has comfortable seats (though, like those in the Civic, without adjustable lumbar support) but shoulder room typical of a compact car. The Civic has two more inches of shoulder room and feels more like a midsize sedan in the front seat. Both cars have good driving positions with reasonably compact instrument panels. In L and LS trim, the new Cruze has a 14.9-cubic-foot trunk, nearly identical to that of the new Civic and about as large as you'll find in the class. But the LT and Premier have a compact spare tire that reduces cargo volume to 13.6 cubic feet. Still pretty good. Next year both cars will also be available as hatchbacks. see full Chevrolet Cruze review
