I am 6' 2" and feel fine in the sedan as well with stock seats. The test comes soon with the Kirkey racing seat and 6 pt roll cage.

5' 10" and it's okay, but I wouldn't complain about a little more leg room.

6' even, and the seats were one of my main complaints about my '07 hatch. Didn't scoot back far enough to give me leg room, no thigh support, and the lack of telescoping steering wheel forced me to sit unnaturally upright.

Could have all been fixed easily enough simply by installing the same kind of tilting seat I had in my '86 VW Golf, and longer seat rails.

If it hadn't had cruise control (allowing me to shift around in my seat and moving my legs into different positions), any ride longer than 20 minutes would have been torture.

I am 6ft 1-2in, 175-180lbs. The SE-version seats are very comfortable (and suitably snug on the hard cornering). I keep the seat-height adjustment at the lowest elevation, because anything higher feels weird to me. I am able sit/drive very comfortably without the need for the telescoping steering-wheel that auto reviewers relentlessly tar-and-feather the Yaris for not having. Go figure. :wink:

You must have short, stubby legs ;)

Nope - long legs and long arms. I don't even have the seat set fully back. Perhaps Toyota lengthened the seat track? Or, what I find comfortable is weird. :laugh:

I'm 6'2" and I was comfortable in my '07, and I'm comfortable in my '14. I have no complaints about the seats or the position of the steering wheel.

I feel the seats do sit a little high I just rectify that by leaning back more hehe

5 10 and no complaints about the seating/ergonomics of the Yaris.

As someone who has back problems I like to point out the ease of entry and egress of the 2 door hatch. The car also is higher above the ground and this helps in that department too.

So true. My dad, who's 80 with back/knees/shoulder/etc. problems, has a much easier time getting in and out of my car then the Hondas in the family. More so before I lowered it.

5'11" 3rd gen car, I have the seat all the way back and at lowest setting. That way is most comfortable for my legs. It does leave me stretching for the steering wheel however. I am straight armed if both hands on wheel at 10-2 o'clock. Not really that big a deal but I agree that a telecoping wheel would be appreciated.

5'11" 210lbs. I have the seat bottom all the way back in my 07 sedan. I wish I could go farther back, and I wish the steering wheel would telescope out towards me. I like having my legs stretched out, not my arms.
