Plenty of room for the kids, dog and cat for those cross country trips and we do many of them. see full Hyundai Entourage review |

The centre row seats recline and move back for more leg room. The rear row reclines as well making for a comfortable ride instead of being crammed in the back of a minivan. see full Hyundai Entourage review |

I could not find a comfortable place for my left leg, no matter how the seat position was adjusted. I am six feet tall. see full Hyundai Entourage review |

Seat bottoms are typical Japanese style short bottomed and not conducive to long duration drives. see full Honda Fit review |

One more thing. Rear seat comfort was obviously not a big selling point, nor a necessary feature. But one piece of it was worse than it had to be: the rear seat headrests. The artful circular shape and limited adjustment made the rear seats even harder to use; the headrest would tend to jab passengers in their spine. A better solution which was more even with the seat back would really have helped here. see full Honda Fit review |
