What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Kia Forte
| 2012 Kia Forte Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Plenty of room, indeed there may be too much room as it is a bit of a reach to unlock the passenger side door, almost impossible to adjust the passenger door mirror and lower the passenger window? Forget it. Plenty of elbow room. see full Kia Forte review |

My Jazz Bass, in its case, fits on the floor between the front and rear seats. Just like the front seats, there is plenty of room for two and adequate room for three. see full Kia Forte review |

I feel the seat is to far away from the wheel and the pedals are angled to steeply. The dead pedal is perfect though. see full Kia Forte review |

It is large enough to comfortably seat three people, plus still having a large capacity trunk. see full Nissan Murano review |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
Perfect for a taller person; longer seat bottom gives better support; 8 way seat lets one get just the right position. see full Nissan Murano review |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD |
Even I can ride in the back seat. Not something that I can do in a lot of cars. see full Nissan Murano review |

| 2007 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
I had a Camaro once, and the seats would have been better suited to that, rather than a crossover to take to work and back. The lumbar hurt, no matter where I set it. see full Nissan Murano review |
