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 Chevrolet HHR Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Extremly comfortable. You have to sit in it to understand. The leather seat is more comfortable than the cloth seat. see full Chevrolet HHR review
2007	4dr Wagon 149-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	The rear seat room is relatively large. On long road trips when i am not driving, my back starts to hurt and i cant find a comfortable position to sit in. see full Chevrolet HHR review
2007	4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Great seating position. Long drives are not a problem see full Chevrolet HHR review
2007	4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Fits 4 people very nicely for long trips. Upright seating works well. see full Chevrolet HHR review
2007	4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	See above. Add to that heated leather seats. Oh yeah!!! Remote start is great also. see full Chevrolet HHR review
