2011 | 4dr SUV 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
I sometimes have elderly passengers. They do not have to squirm to get in or do calesthenics to get out. see full Honda CR-V review |

The caravan style arm rests are ugly but extremely comfortable. see full Honda CR-V review |

2008 | 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Very comfortable for prolonged around-town driving, not bad for long trips. Could use adjustable lumbar support, but all other adjustments are very good. The non-sueded cloth is comfortable and durable. see full Kia Spectra review |
