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
