Rear Comfort

We were pleasantly surprised with the amount of rear seat room in the Lancer. It’s no limousine, but for a compact sedan there’s good leg, hip, toe and head room. Shoulder room is tight thanks to the seat shape, and three people would be cramped. Our knees also touched the seatbacks in the “self-behind-self” test, but they’re soft so it’s not a problem, at least on short trips. Rear seats are covered in the same suede-like cloth as the fronts, and a final nice touch is the soft arm rest that folds down from the center seatback position.
