I have not had any complaints. Im 6'2" and always sensitive to rear seat passengers. While there is less space than in the long body version I can set my front seat to the most comfortable setting and get in the back and still be comfortable. Thats actually the test I use to determine back seat room whenever I buy a car.
It is a lot less space than in the Longbody but remember the long body cars are considered Limo's in Europe.
Since Im usually the one driving at any given moment and I am not a Chauffer I would rather not drive around with all that extra weight for a few more inches of legroom for the rear passengers.
