2019 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

2013 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	0	Seats mold to your body and they heat up fast which helps in winter. see full Hyundai Elantra review

2013 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	This is really not a con. If they offered the option of a front passenger power seat with lumbar as an option, I along with many others would likely opt for it. see full Hyundai Elantra review
