Significantly bigger than a Prius.
No offence, but I find that to be totally ridiculous.

Why does it *have* to be Toyota? Surely you're not that stupid to think that they're the only ones capable of making a decent car?

Actually, the back seats are around the same size. The Prius has some extra leg room that could offer a slight advantage if you're a 7 foot tall circus escapee.
Only in your mind pal.

Only if you wanted to be completely ridiculous.
Oh, wait a minute. You claim the Prius is a "large car" :)
Just what exactly do you do that makes a Prius suitable and a Corolla not? Having driven both cars on numerous occasions I'm struggling to imagine a valid scenario here.
-- Regards, Noddy.
From Toyota's website:
Size in inches
Headroom: 38.3 (Prius) 38.8 (Corolla) Shoulder Room: 54.9 (Prius) 54.8 (Corolla) Hip Room: 52.7 (Prius) 53.0 (Corolla) Leg Room: 42.5 (Prius) 41.7 (Corolla)
On those figures I make the Corolla offering slightly more hip room and slightly less leg room. Either way there is less than an inch difference between the two in any dimension.
I don't know where you get the 7 inch difference from, other than your vivid imagination.
-- Regards, Noddy.
If true, that makes your logic even *less* plausible :)
-- Regards, Noddy.
And this was a current model? Are you *sure* it was a Corolla and not a Yaris?
-- Regards, Noddy.
Close, but no cigar.
I have no desire to own either, so unlike you I have no bias.
-- Regards, Noddy.
Where did you dream that up, using external dimensions the Prius is narrower than a Corolla, unless Toyota have invented a new Tardis where did the extra 7 inches of hip room come from?

Yes, a bit like "Noddy's world" :)

Even something like a 4-pot Camry or Hyundai Sonata would shit all over it in terms of size and performance and you'd have $15000 left in your pocket. (or about 160,000km of petrol money)
[guffaw] Yeah I bet their Prius profits are friggin' enormous!
Also, oddly, it's always the "gas" mileage that the Prius-owners use to justify the vehicle. Here is Aus you can get a Toyota Camry with climate control and a great stereo as well as more power and more room inside for over $10,000 less than a base-model Prius. Seeing as "gas" mileage is unimportant; what the blithering f#ck would you want with the Hybrid?!!?
Not here.
I drive a company-supplied vehicle, and my choice was either a Chevy Malibu or a Toyota Prius.
THERE was a no-brainer.
Agreed.
But such isn't the case here in the US.
If you've read any of my stuff, you'd see that I also mention Honda.
Can't be GM or Ford. Or anything German.
Yes on both counts.
It seems to me that you get different cars than what we get.
I went by the Edmunds site.
But now I'm on Toyota's site. Toyota agrees: rear hip room on the Corolla is 43in, on the Prius is 51in.
Can you dispute those numbers?
I'm not dreaming anything up. You are.
