Opel Astra (V. 2012). Description

For greater comfort passengers in the back seat, the driver and passenger in the front seat will have to go somewhat shy, so they wouldn't get a chance to imposingly a stay in their seats without compromising usability of the back seat. But you do not have to Balk knees in the front panel, sitting in the front.

Unfortunately, there is another very big disadvantage of the presented car is a relatively low roof. For passengers of high growth remain in stock just a couple inches below her butt up against. And given the state of Russian roads, then the passenger can only sympathize at the first significant bump. But to justify this model, we can say that the landing behind the wheel is very convenient, there will not be any trouble. Seats in this sedan is very comfortable, they are adjustable along the length of the cushion and side support.
