2018 Hyundai Kona Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Hyundai packaged the Kona fairly efficiently, but only so much was possible given the crossover's compact exterior dimensions. At 5-9 I can barely sit behind someone else my height, my knees nearly touching the front seat back. Put taller people in the front seats, and the rear seat would become viable only for small adults and children. The Honda HR-V has a much roomier rear seat (but much less comfortable front seats, at least for me, as their headrests jut too far forward). Most other competitors fall between the two. One exception: the Mazda CX-3 has an even tighter rear seat than the Kona. For those who fit, the Kona's rear seat is mounted comfortably high off the floor. see full Hyundai Kona review

2006 Acura RSX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	2dr Hatch 201-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	The rear seat is not much use if the front passengers are over 6ft. Very little head/leg room. But you don�t buy this type of car to haul 4 people around. But in a pinch I�ve had 4 in there, and I�m 6�4�. see full Acura RSX review
