The Edge is very roomy and comfortable. By leaving out the third seat option, they were able to give the front and rear rows both a little more space and it can comfortably fit 5 adults. see full Ford Edge review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Hyundai Sonata

2012 Hyundai Sonata Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2013 According to the EPA's classification system, the Hyundai Sonata is actually a large car. You wouldn't guess this while sitting in the front seat. A steeply raked windshield and cockpit-like instrument panel design cut into actual roominess, and perceived roominess even more. The Sonata's firm front buckets could use more form-fitting contouring. Though not uncomfortable, they are the least comfortable buckets in this threesome. In the back seat, six-foot passengers' scalps might graze the headliner, but knee room is generous. There's a bit more room and a more comfortably padded and positioned rear seat cushion inside the Altima. But the Mazda6's rear seat is at least as low to the floor as the Sonata's and includes a couple inches less knee room. So the Hyundai has a slight edge over the Mazda. see full Hyundai Sonata review

The front driver seat is supportive yet firm and the power adjustments guarantee you'll get the right driving position for you. The heated seat feature is great on a cold morning too. see full Hyundai Sonata review

2013 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4

Ride is comfortable but after about 2 or 3 hours, the leather seats get a bit hard on the butt. see full Hyundai Sonata review
2012 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Have the Limited with leather heated seats. They are not as comfortable as expected. The seat bolsters are a little tight for my back side. see full Hyundai Sonata review
2011 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Although adequate, long drives with more than two people in the car would be cramped. see full Hyundai Sonata review
