TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Hyundai Elantra GT

2015 Hyundai Elantra GT Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	Like the Elantra Touring which it replaced, the Elantra GT shares few if any visible parts with the Elantra coupe and sedan. Instead, both cars are essentially the European-market Hyundai i30 rebadged and slightly retuned for North American consumption. In Europe, the i30 is offered in two lengths, a hatch and an estate (the Queen's English for "wagon"). With the Elantra Touring, we got the estate. Perhaps because not enough people bought an Elantra Touring, Hyundai decided we'd readily trade functionality for styling. So with the Elantra GT we get the hatchback. While adults no longer have room to stretch, the Elantra GT's rear seat remains roomier than those in the Mazda3 and Ford Focus, but can't quite match the Kia Forte5's interior dimensions. Actually, Mazda claims more rear legroom in its car, but this particular spec seems well out of sync with reality. Even if this wasn't the case, specs aren't everything. Owing to a healthy height off the floor, the Hyundai's rear seat might be the most comfortable in the segment (unless you're tall enough to require more than the modest amount of headroom). A bonus for rear-seat passengers: the Tech Package includes the segment's only panoramic sunroof. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Acura TSX

2009 Acura TSX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Drove 4 straight hours in these seats. They hug in corners and don't leave you butt feeling numb even after long drives. Not many seats out there that are more comfortable (Volvo is one of the makers that comes to mind with better seats) see full Acura TSX review

2009 Acura TSX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The rear seats can be a little tight for people on the tallish side (for me, anything above 5'10"). This can get more complicated with a tall driver/front passenger and tall rear seat occupants. see full Acura TSX review
2010	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The trunk space is adequate, but get a hatchback or wagon (or SUV if you're into that sort of thing) if you're going to regularly carrying anything more than the usual grocery bags, suitcases, golf bags, etc. That said, the 60/40 split fold rear seats will allow for surprisingly longish items to fit (managed a 6 foot ladder, barely). see full Acura TSX review
2010	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	The rear seats are fairly comfortable, but they only provide about 34" of legroom, and there is very little clearance below the seats. see full Acura TSX review
2009	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	If the front seats are pushed back, not a lot of foot room in back see full Acura TSX review
2009	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	There could have been a bit more rear leg space - althoug, the seats are pretty comfortable. see full Acura TSX review
2008	4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Smaller than comparably priced sedans. see full Acura TSX review
