2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid

The seats are form fitting and feel like sports car seats with a lot of side support and back support. see full Honda Insight review

2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid
7-speed shiftable CVT FWD
Rear seat is super uncomfortable to get in and out of if you are tall. see full Honda Insight review
2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid
7-speed shiftable CVT FWD
For tall people, its a no go. Did not like it one bit and had to think about this short fall if I ever wanted to carry friends. Luckly I normally drive alone see full Honda Insight review
2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid
7-speed shiftable CVT FWD
This is a glaring issue with the Insight. Leg room is for children and my head hits the roof and a little bit of the rear hatch. There is a warning sticker about making sure go watch the heads of your rear seat passengers when closing the hatch. see full Honda Insight review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Kia Soul

2011 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
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

2011 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
Lots of head, hip, knee, and foot room. The cushions seem to get less comfortable after a solid 2-3 hours driving. But, at least around town, this is one car in which you can ask friends to sit in the back without being ashamed. see full Kia Soul review
2010 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
Lots of headroom and legroom. Seat and wheel adjustments easy to make. Feels larger than it actually is. see full Kia Soul review
2010 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
Tons of headroom. My daughter has lots of visibility in the back while in her car seat. Full size adults can sit back there in comfort. see full Kia Soul review
2010 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.6L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Comfort of an intermediate-size car, with everything in easy reach. Able to maintain comfortable safety belt adjustment. see full Kia Soul review

2010 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4

My kids are tall too and with my seat adjusted to my liking, there is a ton of head room and leg room in the back. Love the folding rear seats. see full Kia Soul review
2010 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4

You can fit another two big people behind you even when you are a 6 footer. Headrests for all passangers. Safety side curtains for all passengers. see full Kia Soul review
