2018 Hyundai Kona Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
Hyundai packaged the Kona fairly efficiently, but only so much was possible given the crossover's compact exterior dimensions. At 5-9 I can barely sit behind someone else my height, my knees nearly touching the front seat back. Put taller people in the front seats, and the rear seat would become viable only for small adults and children. The Honda HR-V has a much roomier rear seat (but much less comfortable front seats, at least for me, as their headrests jut too far forward). Most other competitors fall between the two. One exception: the Mazda CX-3 has an even tighter rear seat than the Kona. For those who fit, the Kona's rear seat is mounted comfortably high off the floor. see full Hyundai Kona review |

Still small, despite the increased size of the vehicle. see full Jeep Wrangler review |
2006 | 2dr SUV, ext. 190-horsepower 4.0L I6 6-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range |
There is not much rear leg room and the seat has you sitting straight up instead of slight recline. see full Jeep Wrangler review |
