2012 Hyundai Veloster Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2013 | Okay, adults won't want to spend a long road trip in the back seat of a Veloster. But given the car's sleek styling and tidy exterior dimensions, there's a surprising amount of room back there. Not only is the third door justified, but a fourth portal would also be welcome. As is, whoever sits in the left rear seat has no easy way to get to it. Between the lack of a fourth door and the presence of a low console where a fifth person might otherwise sit, it's as if they want people who regularly tote kids to get an Elantra GT. Which, sadly, isn't offered with a 201-horsepower engine. see full Hyundai Veloster review |

seats in rear are tight, they do not slide or recline where as Honda CRV rear seats are much more flexible for kids and families. My crv is 2007 and the rear seats recline and the entire bench can slide front and back to create instant leg room see full Mazda CX-7 review |

Tested CX-7s with both cloth and leather seats. Both materials thin and not supportive. Cloth seats lumpy with uneven feeling surface. see full Mazda CX-7 review |
