The front seat did not go back far enough for a very tall person, headroom was good, head rest pushes your head forward which is horrible. Passenger seat has a glove box near ankles which hits your shins. I guess they used midgets to design the car. see full Honda Pilot review |

I actually thought the limited edition of the pilot had a nice leather seats and I liked the position of the video screen. The only part that bothered me was access to the third row was circus like. see full Honda Pilot review |

This seat was not made for long distance driving. The armrest on the door feels cushy, but after a couple of hours your elbow is pretty much on hard plastic. see full Honda Pilot review |
2016 Hyundai Genesis Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2015 | Unlike in the past, the Cadillac CTS is smaller and lighter than its direct competitors. Instead, the strategy of fielding a larger, heavier car has passed to Hyundai. The new Genesis is about the same length as the old one, and is only an inch longer than the Cadillac (196.5 vs. 195.5 inches). But it rides on a considerably longer wheelbase (118.5 vs. 114.6 inches) and is also significantly wider (74.4 vs. 72.2 inches). These more generous dimensions pay off in about three more inches of rear legroom and over two more inches of rear shoulder room. Based on interior measurements, the Genesis is actually a large sedan, not a midsize. Still, all is not golden in the back seat of the Genesis. Its cushion is mounted a little too low to provide sufficient thigh support (typical in this segment), and its backrest felt like it was reclined a bit too much. see full Hyundai Genesis review |
