| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Can fit my two young children with their car seats and my teenage son has room to sit in the back and text for hours. More comfortable seats than my extended cab 1500. see full Hyundai Elantra review |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Rear set has an upright feel, mor like a couch than most cars, esp GM products. see full Hyundai Elantra review |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I love the heated seats. Sitting in the seats for long drives is very comfortable. see full Hyundai Elantra review |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Lots of leg room, even for a full size adult. see full Hyundai Elantra review |

| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I find it to be very comfortable. The back seat lacks leg room for three people to fit comfortably. If an adult is in the front then the person behind has little leg room. see full Hyundai Elantra review |

Hard to fit a car seat back there. That should give you some idea. see full Hyundai Elantra review |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Honda Odyssey
| 2012 Honda Odyssey Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD |
The Odyssey has the best seat setup of any minivan on the market, by a large margin. Standard 8th seat, which is usable, easy to flip the 3rd row, adjustable 2nd row without floor rails to collect debris from kiddos. see full Honda Odyssey review |
| 2011 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 6-speed automatic FWD |
Nice and roomy 2nd row, we really like the Wide mode seating. Very nice 3rd row usable by adults. see full Honda Odyssey review |

| 2011 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD |
The seats are still more thinly padded than the competition - and the third row seat angle is merely adequate. My mother in law noted that our Ody 3rd row is really like a standard seat - not "3rd class" - but the Pacifica made her feel like she was "stuck in the back". see full Honda Odyssey review |
