TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Dodge Dart

2014 Dodge Dart Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The Dart's generous size pays few dividends in its back seat, where legroom, though a bit more abundant than in the Focus, is in shorter supply than inside some other smaller, lighter competitors. The average adult will fit behind the average adult with a little room to spare. The seat itself isn't quite as comfortable as the higher, larger, better-shaped cushion in the Focus. see full Dodge Dart review

2014 Dodge Dart Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Seats are comfortable for long periods even in the base Aero. Various models have different headrest designs, some better and worse. Nice ergonomics, generally. see full Dodge Dart review
2013	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Very large backseat for class. see full Dodge Dart review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	There is plenty enough room for me. My 6'5" friend is comfortable sitting in my Dart and says there is more leg and head room than his Corvette. I'd say this is a big plus for perspective buyers. see full Dodge Dart review
2013	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Very comfortable seats in the Rallye package. see full Dodge Dart review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Kia Sorento

2015 Kia Sorento Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Hyundai offers the Santa Fe in two lengths, a two-row 184.6-inch "Sport" and a three-row 193.1-inch regular version. Though the 2011-2015 Sorento had an optional third-row seat, it was about the same length as the Santa Fe Sport. Perhaps to better fit that third-row seat and differentiate itself from the two Hyundai variants, the 2016 Sorento is three inches longer than the 2015, for a total of 187.4. Kia has done a good job packaging the new SUV. Though the Toyota Highlander and (2009-2015) Honda Pilot are considerably longer, their rear seats have no more rear legroom than the new Sorento's. At 5-9, I can just barely fit in any of them. Passengers will have more room to stretch their legs in the Santa Fe, though third-row headroom is similarly limited to people of at most my height. If you need an adult-friendly third-row, you really need a minivan. Kia offers an especially stylish one. Like the Santa Fe, the Sorento falls between others' compact and midsize SUVs in width. There might not be more rear legroom in a Highlander or Pilot, but there's enough additional shoulder room to include a third seating position in the third row. If you need an eight-passenger vehicle, both the Sorento and the Santa Fe are out of contention. At least all trim levels of the Sorento can seat seven people. The Santa Fe Limited can only fit six. In both the Kia and the Hyundai the second-row seat is mounted comfortably high off the floor, not a given among midsize crossovers. The third-row seat is mounted low to the floor, forcing a knees-high seating position, but this is pretty much a given in the class. see full Kia Sorento review
