What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Toyota Yaris

2008 Toyota Yaris Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
2008 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
For the size of car, there is a lot of front seat room see full Toyota Yaris review

Have driven Tampa - Durham multiple times (11-12 hrs each way). Seat feels REAL nice to me. see full Toyota Yaris review
2007 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4
5-speed manual FWD
There's lots of space around you in the front seats, moreso than other cars I have owned. Lots of modern cars have a big, tall center console that extends back to the rear seats and up to your elbow. The Yaris is not like this at all. Only the gear stick separates the driver and passenger. see full Toyota Yaris review

More room than many mid-size cars see full Toyota Yaris review

The seats are soft but supportive, and hug the driver firmly in place. The result is a real sense of connection with the car. see full Toyota Yaris review

Ride position too low. see full Toyota Yaris review

Not comfortable to sit in for more than an hour. see full Toyota Yaris review
2008 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4
5-speed manual FWD
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

incofortable even for only two adults. The passanger in the center will be very inconfortable when tree passengers are in rear seat. see full Toyota Yaris review
2008 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
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

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

Very narrow. see full Toyota Yaris review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2019 Toyota Highlander

2019 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2020 4dr SUV 295-horsepower 3.5L V6
8-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The 3rd row seating is just not for adults at all, and I'm not certain that children would be easy to fit back there as well. I'm not sure what Toyota was thinking, even making the 2020 longer didn't make any difference at all. My one complaint is it is just TOO SMALL! see full Toyota Highlander review
2018 4dr SUV 295-horsepower 3.5L V6
8-speed shiftable automatic AWD
3rd row seat is midget sized. Claiming that the Highlander is an 8-passenger vehicle is a lie. It's either 5 normal-sized people, or Snow White and the 7 dwarfs. There is no way you can accommodate 8 normal-sized people comfortably in this car. see full Toyota Highlander review
