The rear seats in this car (the two-row version) really are designed for adults; legroom is incomparable. Be aware that in the three-row version, the second row seats are moved forward to accomodate the third row, so there is less second row legroom. see full Chrysler Pacifica review |

3rd row seat... great option, but difficult to get to and not really big enough for adults. Seats two kids without a problem though. see full Chrysler Pacifica 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 |
