2014 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	0	Seats mold to your body and they heat up fast which helps in winter. see full Hyundai Elantra review

2014 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	This is really not a con. If they offered the option of a front passenger power seat with lumbar as an option, I along with many others would likely opt for it. see full Hyundai Elantra review

2012 Mazda CX-7 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 161-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Tight seating in rear unless seats are pulled way fwd. see full Mazda CX-7 review
