I had a 1st get a few years ago so its not super fresh in my memory, but I had absolutely no issues with my personal fit in the car. For reference I'm 6ft tall. I'm honestly not even sure of the dimensions on the new ones but id see if a dealer in your area has a 1st gen on the lot and look to test drive it then compare the interior dimensions. I haven't seen any complaints from any of the media that drove it though.

 

The only thing I saw in a review concerning the interior is that the seats are closer to the center of the car now. That could mean millimeters or inches, I do not know, and of course, it could be total B.S.; as you really can't trust everything you see on the internet.

 

The questions is how that translates into interior space. I think the seats are also lower than the first gen car to accommodate the lower roof line.
