He pushed the seat all the way back and my legs pretty much had to abandon that side of the car.
Hands down, though, the most surprisingly roomy vehicle I've ever been in was a friend from college's 1972 VW Rabbit (diesel). She was the only one in our group of friends with a car, and three of us used to pile in the back without a problem at all. That was an awesome car. It got something like 52 mpg, which was probably good because it was a pain in the ass to find feul for it.

I must have unnaturally long legs for my height, because an my adult-sized daughter had to sit behind my sister, who is 5'7. That was manageable.
Agree w/r/t the diesel Rabbit. I had one of these and
mostly liked it.
Best features: Roomy and great mileage.
Worst features:
Not a good cold-weather car, unless you have a place to plug it in.
Vulnerable to leaking head gaskets. I personally had to replace two of these, which even then, was expensive (even to do it yourself) and a collossal pain-in-the-ass.
