TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Hyundai Sonata
| 2012 Hyundai Sonata Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | According to the EPA's classification system, the Hyundai Sonata is actually a large car. You wouldn't guess this while sitting in the front seat. A steeply raked windshield and cockpit-like instrument panel design cut into actual roominess, and perceived roominess even more. The Sonata's firm front buckets could use more form-fitting contouring. Though not uncomfortable, they are the least comfortable buckets in this threesome. In the back seat, six-foot passengers' scalps might graze the headliner, but knee room is generous. There's a bit more room and a more comfortably padded and positioned rear seat cushion inside the Altima. But the Mazda6's rear seat is at least as low to the floor as the Sonata's and includes a couple inches less knee room. So the Hyundai has a slight edge over the Mazda. see full Hyundai Sonata review | |

The front driver seat is supportive yet firm and the power adjustments guarantee you'll get the right driving position for you. The heated seat feature is great on a cold morning too. see full Hyundai Sonata review |

Ride is comfortable but after about 2 or 3 hours, the leather seats get a bit hard on the butt. see full Hyundai Sonata review |
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Have the Limited with leather heated seats. They are not as comfortable as expected. The seat bolsters are a little tight for my back side. see full Hyundai Sonata review |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Although adequate, long drives with more than two people in the car would be cramped. see full Hyundai Sonata review |

The seats are very firm, but you get out after a three-hour drive without limping and hating your car. Lots of room; commanding sense of being in control. This car just feels good - the main reason I bought it. see full Dodge Charger review |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 350-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The back seat is as comfortable as the fronts with enough leg room to actually cross your legs. It seems limousine-like for space. see full Dodge Charger review |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Plenty of front seat legroom, headroom, etc. power seats let anyone of any size be comfortable driving and riding in the Charger. see full Dodge Charger review |
