Default Your height + back seat fit

I visited my local dealer to check the size of the CT200 back seat, but they didn't have one on the showroom that day.

With the front seat adjusted for your comfort, can you sit behind yourself comfortable?

I'm 5'10 and wondering if I'd be able to fit other adults in the back or if it's kids only.

try sitting in Corolla I guess... it has a bit less space for legs as front seats are bigger in Lexus.

Fine for kids; OK for "smaller" adults; it's relatively tight back there......

I'm 5'10" and I can fit behind myself just fine in the CT.

I don't slouch or sit far back for a seating position though, I sit straight up and with my arms with a good bend to them with the steering wheel.

I'm 6'5" and took 4 adults around in the car last night. Moving my seat up allowed a smaller (5'7") adult behind me. Neither of us were particularly comfortable, but we could zip around town no problem.

Bottom line, if you are planning on having 4 (or even 3) adults in the car for long periods of time or quite frequently, this probably isn't your vehicle. If it's an occasional thing, it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm 5'8" and don't drive in a slouched position. That said, there's enough room back there for me, but it is a bit tight compared to some other cars.

Thanks for the input. I'll prob visit another dealer to check out the size myself.

Normally it's just my wife and I during the week. However, we usually have others in the car on the weekend. Family sometimes visit from our of town and we might need to put in a babyseat a few times a year.

I really like the car, just hope it's roomy enough to accomodate my situation.

It's okay for medium frame sized people in front but if either has a set of football shoulders that front row seat can feel mighty intimate.

Am six two and a former offensive lineman, definitely not comfortable sitting behind a five ten driver---

If you're worried about four adults feeling comfortable, get an HS.

Way to small for anyone to ride in the back at all for more then a few miles. This car is for 2 adults & maybe 2 kids under 6 yrs.

I am 6"5 and the backseat is very small, fine for short trips but I wouldn't find it comfy. That said the car is smaller than the Prius so it should be expected.

Its all relative though, to some people it's probably a great place to be (memories of my old Sentra lol)

I've been in the back seat several times for long periods now. Its comfy. Not as good as the front of course, but the seat is supportive and its fine leg-room wise as long as you sit behind someone who doesn't put the seat all the way back.
