What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 2dr Coupe 348-horsepower 3.8L V6
6-speed manual RWD
Driving position w/ power seat is excellent. More than adequate headroom for an average sized person. Passenger seat rides lower. Instrumentation is clear and logical, though two of the three gauges on the console are silly at best: while Oil Temp is good to know, Torque and MPG gauges are totally unnecessary. An ammeter, voltmeter, coolant temp, or oil pressure gauges would be preferable to those two gimmicks. The Track model has "everything" except memory seats/mirrors, a power passenger seat, a lock on the glove box, and a rear camera. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review

The seats are good for only animals and small children.The trunk is huge, but the opening is small. The back seat folds down. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review

Again, this car is a perfect fit for my body. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review

2013 2dr Coupe turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual RWD
There is very little headroom in the rear. Anyone over 5'3" is going to have their head either touching or nearly touching the roof/rear glass. Pretty much anyone over 5'7" is going to have to cock their head to the side. The rear seat has decent leg room behind my seat (I am 5'11"). Access is also decent for a 2-door due to the long doors. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review

Very comfortable seats up front with tons of leg room. see full Kia Sorento review
2012 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The Kia Sorento had very good seating positions in the front for a very tall person, I'm almost 6'5" and was able to fit with the sunroof / panaramic roof. You get a feeling of control and confidence. You do loose about 1" or so with the see full Kia Sorento review

The third seat was a major factor in our decision process. see full Kia Sorento review
2011 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Need 7 passenger seating and the Sorento has delivered. Used 3rd row quite a few times with children AND adults. No complaints, although 3rd ride was usually no more than one hour. see full Kia Sorento review

Good size second row seat. Plenty of room for adults and can fit three child car seats. see full Kia Sorento review

Needs an adjustable second row and a little more cargo room when the third row seat is up. see full Kia Sorento review

3rd row is tiny, and you are forced to get it, if you want the V-6 see full Kia Sorento review
