The seats aren't that soft to the touch, and are quite supportive in cornering, but they are very well-sculpted.

Seats are comfortable, adjustable, and sit high to give the driver and passenger a good view of the road ahead, and are wide and not narrow like you find in the competition. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |
