TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Kia Forte
| 2015 Kia Forte Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2014 | People who need a roomy rear seat don't often buy coupes. So with the Civic Si the coupe is an inch and a half shorter (in both height and length) than the sedan, which translates to nearly three inches less headroom and nearly five inches less legroom in back, making it a very tight fit for even modestly sized adults. Those who do want a roomy rear seat in their coupe will be much happier with the Forte. Compared to the sedan, Kia shaved the Koup's roofline an inch but kept the wheelbase the same. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, I had about an inch of clearance over my head and a hand's-width ahead of my knees. Switch to the four-door body styles, and both cars are about equally roomy in back. But only Forte rear seat passengers enjoy rear air vents--in every body style. see full Kia Forte review | |

Fold down seats and rear hatch entrance to place long cargo easily in space. HondaCivic did not have trunk access to rear seats. see full Toyota Prius review |

Excellent for tall, long legged people - even more leg room than a Cadillac, which appears larger. My children love it! Also plenty of head room for tall people. see full Toyota Prius review |

Seat needs more lower back support for distance driving. see full Toyota Prius review |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
If you are much over 5 foot 10 inches tall, the drivers seat might get a little tight. Not much leg support either as the bottom cushion is very short. I hear the 2010 redesign helped with this. Since I use this car for not much more than an hour commute, I tolerate the seat as the rest of the car is so darn good. see full Toyota Prius review |

long drives are a pain the .... well, you know. the car is not a comfortable as I would like. limited range of adjustments. Not bad for a couple of hours or even on a easy road trip but, more than 10 hours in a day? not for me. too bad. see full Toyota Prius review |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Okay, but gets uncomfortable after an hour. No ability to change seat angle even with leather version that I had. see full Toyota Prius review |
