2009 Honda Ridgeline Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUT 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	The interior is the Ridgelines stronges point. Comfortable front and back and a feeling a space. The lack of transmission tunnel and column mounted shifter in particular make the front cabin roomy. 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	Very good leg room and back of seat angled properly 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	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	Rear seats are as comfortable as any vehicle I have been in. see full Honda Ridgeline review

2020 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2021	Though adjustments to their shape are limited to power lumbar, the new Hyundai Elantra's well-bolstered front seats fit me especially well. Your size and shape likely differ from mine, so impressions of seat comfort will vary. Whether they fit or not, in the Elantra Limited (unlike in the Forte) they are upholstered in real leather and would not appear out of place in an Audi. see full Hyundai Elantra review

2020 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Rear seat passengers enjoy abundant knee room, but those of more than middling height will find headroom and thigh support marginal at best. These weaknesses are fairly common in current compact sedans, but the Forte, with a taller, less swoopy roof line, has a more comfortably positioned rear seat and a bit more rear headroom. see full Hyundai Elantra review
