Back seat space is okay, but this is a relatively small vehicle so it may be necessary for occupants to come to a compromise on legroom if tall adults are travelling. Try out the rear seat headroom is a little limited. Children are usually fine, but if they are approaching teenage years take them along for your pre-purchase test drives.
