I'm only 5'2" so space isn't a problem, but there is more room in the front seat of my Yaris Liftback than in in the front seat of my 1992 Ford Explorer. More leg room & space between me & the steering wheel. Head room is not a problem for me at all (Ha).

I own a hatchback/liftback. I am 6'1", and there is lots of room for my feet and my head. You will easily fit in this great car. It has been two months, and 2000 miles, and I am very pleased. I average 41 mpg, with no highway driving. Great car for the price. Also, a great car for the environment. Highly recommend it.

I am 6ft 1" tall and test drove both the sedan and the Liftback. I had more comfortable room and way more room in the Liftback...so that's what I purchased and have had it since July 6th...about to hit 5000 miles and depending upon highway/local driving i get close to or often over 40 mpg and i have the automatic.
 
I highly recommend the Liftback:)

Liftback or Sedan? Sedan if you want your friends to be more comfortable! by akin242002

I may be biased, but I have always preferred a four door car over a two door. If you have friends, family, or kids riding with you it is so much more convenient to drive the Sedan. They do not have to wait for you to get out of your car and move the seat back to let them out. As long as the door is unlocked, they can easily exit the car (Very helpful when dropping people off at the airport or at school). Also the Sedan has more rear leg room than the Liftback. If your riding by yourself all the time, then the Liftback is ok. Otherwise, I would strongly recommend the Sedan.

Well, styling is always cleaner on a two-door. Two-doors are more sporty looking; a four-door might as well scream, "family grocery hauler"!

I do not think sporty car comes to anyone's mind when they think of Yaris Liftback. More of a cheap loner . If your looking for sporty to impress friends, then just buy the Yaris S Sedan. In the end, it is still the Sedan that wins.

C'mon, four-door cars are family cars. "Four door" and "sporty" are mutually exclusive terms. Oh sure, the auto industry has TRIED to sell us on the concept of "sport sedan"... yeah, RIGHT.

For "sporty" I'll take a BMW Any Series 4-door sedan any day over a Yaris hatchback. The Yaris hatch screams only one word to me: cute.

Of course, any BMW will handle better than a Yaris. BMWs are fun to drive. They're still not sporty. Viewed from the side, four-door sedans have too much window space behind the B-pillar (as well as that second door and door handle to break up the styling lines) to look sporty.
 
No, four-door sedans just look stodgy, no matter how well they handle or how much power they have.

I see you have a clear bias toward four door cars because they do not look sporty enough for your standards. If you have not heard, Sedans sell more than two door cars (Camery and Corolla for example). Why? Most likely for practicality reasons (Getting in and out of the back seat). You also need to consider that most people buy Toyota cars for practicality and not sporty looks. The Toyota Corolla CE has never looked sporty, but it is a top seller. Toyota did create the Scion TC for people who are looking for sporty and a low cost.
