2012 Another surprising strength for the new BMW 3-Series. There's more room in back than in competing cars, and the seat is comfortably positioned and shaped. see full BMW 3-Series review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Kia Rondo

2009 Kia Rondo Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Wagon 182-horsepower 2.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 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
