The car is very comfortable to ride in. My SRX has all the bells and whistles with electric seat controls. I often adjust the lumbar support to my needs depending on how bad my back is hurting that day. Heated seats also make for a very warm tush on a cold day. see full Cadillac SRX review |

Seat belts attached to front seats and not adjustable up and down. Lower sitting heighth than Lexus or other crossover SUVs or at least the appearance of same. see full Cadillac SRX review |

Much smaller compare to the R-class. The third row is a joke. see full Cadillac SRX review |

For how big the SRX looks, it's passenger space is somewhat craped. It's not terrible by any means, but it's not very roomy either. see full Cadillac SRX review |
2019 Kia Forte Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2019 | I found both rows of seats comfortable in the Kia. Outward visibility from the driver seat is pretty good, though the windshield is raked a bit much for my taste. Rear seat passengers enjoy a cushion comfortably high off the floor (unlike the Civic's) and a relatively open view forward. I personally have issues with the shape of the front seats in compact Hondas. Both their lumbar bulges and their headrests just too far forward. Try thoroughly before buying. see full Kia Forte review |
