2008 Kia Rondo Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

Tall large people can sit in the second row with more comfort as they can in the front seats of our Honda Civic or Sebring convertible. Third row is not bad for short trips for adults and children would be good for longer trips. see full Kia Rondo review |

It is difficult to find a comfortable driving position in the manual seat because the seat tilts forward as it lifts up. Lumbar support is poor an the steering wheel is too far away. see full Kia Rondo review |

The front seat seems a bit thin and does require adjustment for comfort after awhile. see full Honda CR-V review |
