2009 Toyota Prius Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	no lumbar support on low end models see full Toyota Prius review
2010	4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	I think that the seats should be more supportive for back comfort see full Toyota Prius review
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
