2012 Ford Flex Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2011 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 355hp 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The seating throughout the vehicle is extremely roomy. Adults can fit comfortably in both the second and third row seats. The driver and passenger seats are also extremely comfortable. see full Ford Flex review |
2012 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
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 |
