A surprising fact: 2009-2011 model has more leg space than the 2012-2014

[aamirahsan89]

I guess the point you are making about decreased leg space is attributed to having extra padded seats......if you happen to sit in a XLi/GLi pre-facelift and compare it with those of the facelift, you will definitely feel a difference in seat comfort and ride comfort......obviously if the seats are padded more, you will have a cramped feeling in the same shell....IMC thinking could be to make the car comfortable and might have received some complaints......I totally agree with you that the model feel goes backwards with every passing year...my 2010 Corolla interior feel is better than the 2011 (facelift) model which is again better than the 2013 model...there are a few othe things that are a difference but would leave them for now...one of my friends who work for Toyota Japan said that Toyota is decreasing the costing of each part to keep cost down

I felt the padding difference but the padding difference isn't enough to compensate for the leg space. But then again, to each their own, whatever one priorities. I guess I have to look into jdms now, civic can't take a beating, and the corolla is too small. But my last choice would be to cut my spending and buy a new corolla, that I think might have a little decent leg space

Both similar cars with no seat covers, front and rear, both of them. The facelift one has literally no leg space for a fellow over 6 feet, whereas the old one can comfortably seat tall people. Even when seats are stretched all the way back, the old shape has more space, I checked it in multiple cars.

Im not sure, the facelift has loads of legroom. Never compared it to the old one though.

The rear has no leg space, even if one is 5 feet tall. The front is uncomfy for a person taller than 6"

I guess if roominess and increased leg space is your choice, go for new Corolla.....more leg room than the previous generation and the seats are also wider....and I am comparing Gli variant here.....I guess padding makes you sit taller and further, thus resulting is less leg room.....guess if you dont want to cut spending, get a premio 2005ish model (comparing prices here)....or you can even got for an Accord within the same price range.....you will be driving in style and have more leg room...yes the ownership cost is more, but then comfort level has a price figure attached to it

I can deal with all costs, just a fact that I travel 100 km a day in local traffic, mileage is an important figure. 12-14 minimum in local

if mileage is important, them Accord is out of question...u hardly get 9 out of it....hard to get it on 1.8 Altis manual as that engine is a gas guzzler.....1.6 manual or auto Altis could be a much better choice......ya phir prius ......u can get way more than 14 kmpl

Sold a prius, ground clearance major issue. Altis manual is capable of 12 local. Axio is an option

Anyways, returning to the topic. The mystery needs to be resolved, will try to get physical measurements as to where the space went

yes the big mystery....I guess the extra padding in the seats is the result......have a look at seats of both models.....you will see a physical difference in the size.....facelift has extra bulges at the end and front of the seats...pre facelift does not have those profound bulges.....I guess that is the only reason for cramped room as body dimensions and size are the same

If you are being sarcastic state so even the city has more leg room than this. It's like a joke, the leg room is so pathetic that it makes one want to cry. City kya, heck even cultus has more space than this, i don't know why Toyota did this
