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 |

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 |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The caravan style arm rests are ugly but extremely comfortable. see full Honda CR-V review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Very comfortable to enter and exit. Very comfortable to sit in for long trips. see full Honda CR-V review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Looking for familly smallish SUV and our other option was a RAV-4, the CR-V felt like it had better hip and leg room in the rear. see full Honda CR-V review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Could not find a comfortable position, even with a power seat. see full Honda CR-V review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Roomy enough, but materials feel cheap. Bench is very thin and hard on long trip. Good leg room, but overall not as nicely done as the VW Tiguan. see full Honda CR-V review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Seats need another couple of inches of depth to provide anyone over six feet tall with proper thigh support. A little on the firm side after a couple of hours. Could also be improved with better lateral support. Not a deal breaker unless you expect a Volvo type lounger. see full Honda CR-V review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
In typical Japanese Small Car fashion, the front seats have very little thigh support for a 5ft 10inch person. The back support and position can be quite painful over 500 or more miles. This marred the ownership experience see full Honda CR-V review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Headrest could not be adjusted comfortably. see full Honda CR-V review |
