2008 Chevrolet Equinox Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 264-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The rear seat can slide forward and back 8" providing generous leg room for rear passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6
5-speed automatic FWD
The bucket seats are at a perfect height for easy entry and exit. Also there is a liftable arm rest between the seats for storing purse, etc. which eliminates the need for reaching to the back when the passenger seat is occupied. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6
5-speed automatic FWD
Ample leg and hip room. I am only 5foot 4 inches but have a wide posterior. Seat is comfortable for me. My son is 6 foot 3 inches and medium build. He has ample leg and body room. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Kia Soul

2013 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
The seats are similarly sufficient for casual around-town driving but subpar for even moderate distances. Less than half way through our four-hour drive the hard, flat cushions grew uncomfortable. see full Kia Soul review

2014 0 Excellent room both up front and in the backseat for tall people. Same as previous model see full Kia Soul review
2013 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2014 0 The front seat is every bit as uncomfortable as the previous model. No improvement here. A tall person will be more comfortable sitting in the rear seat. see full Kia Soul review
