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 |

2007 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |

With the front seats all the way back, children can barely fit their legs behind the seats. see full Nissan Sentra review |
