What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Hyundai Veloster

2015 Hyundai Veloster Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2015 3dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.6L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
The Veloster is setup like a sports car - stiff suspension, low riding height, and sport seats designed to keep you in place. What this car is not is comfortable. At all. There is almost no back support, and little coushining. On a long trip, it will be PAIN. On roads trampled on by dinosaurs, it will be PAIN. The interior accents also get in the way of resting your legs on anything, so you have to just deal with the space provided, which isn't much. This car is just big enough, and not a milimeter more. see full Hyundai Veloster review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Kia Soul

2014 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2015 Volkswagen managed to package the e-Golf's 24-kWh battery pack so well that neither passenger nor cargo room is reduced. Kia didn't do as well with its 27-kWh pack, and the Soul EV has three fewer inches of rear legroom than the regular Soul as a result. Still, this leaves it with about as much rear legroom as the e-Golf, and more than you'll find in other compact EVs. If you want a compact EV with an adult-friendly back seat, these are the ones to get. Rear seat passengers don't get rear air vents in the Soul EV, but they can get seat heaters. The e-Golf has the vents but doesn't offer back row bun warmers. see full Kia Soul review

2014 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2014 0 The front seat is every bit as uncomfortable as the previous model. No improvement here. A tall person will be more comfortable sitting in the rear seat. see full Kia Soul review
