| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I can adjust the seat back so I can reach all controls with just arm movement. I can raise the seat so my thighs are fully supported right out to my knees. see full Toyota Yaris review |

For the size of car, there is a lot of front seat room see full Toyota Yaris review |

Ha ha ha ha! Perhaps a small dog would be comfortable back there. The only good thing about the back seat is that I've read it is not too hard to remove it entirely! see full Toyota Yaris review |

Not comfortable to sit in for more than an hour. see full Toyota Yaris review |

The back seats are extremely cramped when slid forward. They must be slid forward when a non-tiny amount of cargo needs to be put in the back. see full Toyota Yaris review |

Small in the back, but the seats can adjust, recline and fold down for cargo. see full Toyota Yaris review |

3rd row seats are big enough and comfortable enough for an adult. 2nd row seats are the best captain chairs I have ever sat in in a car. Glass roof gives additional room appearance. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review |
