2008 Honda Ridgeline Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	The rear seat is very spacious and relatively comfortable. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Plenty of comfortable seat with the split bench. Can fit a car seat on the smaller right side and still have room for two adults with reasonable leg room. Both sides of the split bench can be easily flipped up for increased storage or down for seating. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Plenty of room and comfort for 5 passengers. Easy to put seats up or down, depending on hauling needs. Rear seat access is easy via the full-size rear passenger doors. Ventilation is good with the rear-vents between the front seats. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Rear seats are as comfortable as any vehicle I have been in. see full Honda Ridgeline review

2007	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Cabin width. Big, comfy heated leather seats. The back seats are flatter and less comfortable, but kids like them just fine. The cabin has plenty of room and many storage bins. see full Honda Ridgeline review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT

2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The front seats are comfortable and supportive in both cars, with Hyundai's likely agreeable for a wider range of body sizes and types. And the rear seat? Here we have another area where the Elantra Touring excelled, but neither Elantra GT has. The culprit this time isn't design, but a decision by those who make the big bucks at the corporate level. Hyundai offers Europeans the i30 (the same car with a different model name) in two lengths. These are marketed as a hatchback and as an estate or touring or tourer or kombi or whatever other label might help sell what Americans call station wagons. With the Elantra Touring, we got the latter, and consequently far more rear seat room and cargo carrying capacity than in any other compact hatchback. But we didn't buy the car. So with the first and second Elantra GT we've been getting the much less lengthy, more athletically proportioned hatchback. As it stands (or rather, sits), the Elantra GT's rear seat shouldn't be condemned as useless unless you're a driver of above-average height with similarly sized passsengers. At 5-9, I fit behind a driver seat set for myself with perhaps three inches between my knees and the seat back and about a half-inch to spare between the top of my head and the headliner (in a two-pedal Elantra GT with the optional sunroof). But people even a couple inches taller than me will feel cramped. The rear seats in the GTI and Civic are roomier. One plus in the Elantra GT's column: its rear seat passengers get air vents. The Civic's don't. In terms of cargo space the Elantra GT is more competitive, but nothing special the way it was with the Elantra Touring. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review
