2016 Hyundai Veloster Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
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 |

2008 | 2dr Convertible 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
No rear seat. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review |
2007 | 2dr Convertible 166-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual RWD |
It's OK for the driver, but there's not much room for the feet of the passenger. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review |
