2006 Hyundai Sonata Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 234-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Other sedans I have owned always left something to be desired in the back seat. Not the Sonata. With so much rear space you really feel like you are in a full sized car! Plus being a big guy has always cramped my rear passengers until now! see full Hyundai Sonata review
2007	4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Average trips are 4 = hours and you get out still fresh compared to the Toyota and Holdens we have in the fleet see full Hyundai Sonata review
2007	4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Very comfortable seats...can drive for hours with no discomfort unlike other cars I have driven. see full Hyundai Sonata review
2007	4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Has lumbar back comfort see full Hyundai Sonata review
2006	4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I am 300 pounds and over 6 feet tall. This is the first car that I have owned in years that allows me to make a five - six hour drive in comfort, without the need to stop and stretch. see full Hyundai Sonata review

2017 Audi Q7 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Now that the Audi Q7's price and styling have been given their due, my other "why nots" are much less clear cut. You sit SUV-high in the new Audi Q7, even higher (if memory serves) than in the Volvo, and certainly higher than in the relatively car-like Acura. While the commanding view over traffic will appeal to many drivers, they're less likely to enjoy the Q7's high floor. The step up won't be an easy one for shorter or older drivers. They'll want running boards. For such a beamy vehicle, with about two inches more shoulder room than in the far-from-narrow Volvo XC90, the Audi Q7 has unexpectedly little stretch out room in the front seats. The culprit: an unusually high and wide center console. The XC90, with a much narrower and lower console, feels roomier--but not as sporty. see full Audi Q7 review
