Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	Excellent for tall, long legged people - even more leg room than a Cadillac, which appears larger. My children love it! Also plenty of head room for tall people. see full Toyota Prius review

2008 Toyota Prius Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	No height adjustment and a bizarre seating angle. see full Toyota Prius review
2008	4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	Seat needs more lower back support for distance driving. see full Toyota Prius review
2008	4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	If you are much over 5 foot 10 inches tall, the drivers seat might get a little tight. Not much leg support either as the bottom cushion is very short. I hear the 2010 redesign helped with this. Since I use this car for not much more than an hour commute, I tolerate the seat as the rest of the car is so darn good. see full Toyota Prius review
2007	4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	no comment. We like what we have see full Toyota Prius review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Jeep Wrangler

2014 Jeep Wrangler Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Two adults can squeeze into the back of the regular Wrangler, but Jeep clearly didn't intend the two-door for people who'll often be using the rear seat. The door openings are small and the front seats don't return to their former position after being tipped forward to let people in. The Wrangler Unlimited has a much wider three-person rear seat served by its own doors. But even in the Unlimited rear knee room isn't abundant and the rear seat cushion is somewhat under-sized. Some owners of the two-door Wrangler remove the rear seat (unlike in the Unlimited, this doesn't require tools) to open up a larger cargo area with a flat floor. There's not a lot of cargo space behind the second row in the two-door. The great majority of the Unlimited's 20-inch wheelbase extension goes into the space behind the second row, nearly tripling cargo volume there from 17 to 46 cubic feet. It's the one to get if you want to be able to carry three or more people and their gear. see full Jeep Wrangler review

2014 Jeep Wrangler Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV 285-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	If you have a long-legged person in the front, the rear seat legroom can be a bit small. A major issue however is that there are no vents in the backseat for climate control. This is especially noticeable in the winter. In order to keep my daughter warm driving in the mountains in the winter, we have to keep the front unbearably hot in order to circulate enough heat to keep her barely warm enough. We typically have to keep a blanket in the back seat for anyone to use in the winter when temperatures fall into the 30s. Switching to summer, the back seat can stay somewhat cool if the vents are pointed towards the back. Depending on where one sits, the front seats can block some of the airflow and it can be uncomfortably warm at times especially if sitting on the side of the Jeep that the sun is hitting. In the hottest part of the summer, we usually have to run the A/C at 3/4 full blast and on recirculate to keep the back seat comfortable. see full Jeep Wrangler review
