pretty impressed with yaris ergonomics
the seat position level is even with the road. my butt doesn't hurt from hours of driving.
i have had cars where my butt hurts within one hour of driving. some car seats are sloped way to back, making you need to lunge forward to look, and even moving the seat all the way up is no good. some cars hood design is so bad that you can barely see what's in front of you. also......... the back seats are perfect! toyota makes perfect use of space in the rear. if you notice, the sedan yaris rear seats are nice and even and does not angle too much to the back. some cars waste space by angling it the wrong way(i dink the camry is like that) |

I find the seats comfortable as well. However, the distance to the floor for my left leg is too short and to the steering wheel is too long. When I cruise I hold the wheel at the bottom but when I need to turn I actually have to lean forward. I'm 6' 2" and there should be an ideal setting for me. The wheel should telescope and the seat should go back another notch or two. Just my two centavos. But I still like my lil' Yaris.

Just came from a thread that was talking about the Sedan's driver seat being "too hard". Glad to see someone likes it for a change
I'm 6'1", so I agree that the LB can feel a little cramped at times for those same reasons... Could also use an armrest too

I only sat in the back once, when I went to the dealer to pick up my car. But usually the words I get from my bck passengers are, " wow I am so surprised by the space here!" hehe
And front sets work great for me, I'm 6'0". |
