2010	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Few cars offer the marriage of rear wheel drive performance with this amount of back seat room for the longer ride (travelling) with 4 adults. see full Hyundai Genesis review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Lots of leg room and width. Air conditioning and heat controls that can be controlled separately from the front passengers choices. Rear window shade. see full Hyundai Genesis review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	No discomfort noted on several trips of 250+ miles. Adjustable lumbar support is very nice (not just in/out, but also up/down). see full Hyundai Genesis review

2010 Hyundai Genesis Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 375-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	almost Teutonic front seats see full Hyundai Genesis review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	First, I am a tall person and the seatbelt height adjustment does not go high enough, so if an accident should occur I believe that the shoulder belt will slip off. Also, the seats could be built more comfortable, more sporty. see full Hyundai Genesis review

2015 Audi A3 / S3 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Same goes for rear seat room. The Audi S3's rear seat can be a tight fit for adults, especially if those in the front seats are tall. But at least most adults will fit. My adult-sized children rode in the back seat from Detroit to Nashville and back without complaining about the amount of space. (It helped that none of us are tall; I'm 5-9.) The back seat in the CLA provides far less room for heads and legs. Mercedes markets it as a coupe for a reason. see full Audi A3 / S3 review
