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 |

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 |

Although adequate, long drives with more than two people in the car would be cramped. see full Hyundai Sonata review |

Best in class, even better than the much larger Altima. see full Nissan *CL55 AMG review |

The rear seat room was the first attraction to the car and we ended up comparing it to larger cars. Adults are perfectly comfortable in the rear of this car, more so than larger cars. see full Nissan *CL55 AMG review |

Comfortable & wide seating, almost as good as our newer 2008 CRV AWD, for both driver & passenger. Centre console area is small & could be better designed, especially cup holder & 12 volt power outlet. see full Nissan *CL55 AMG review |

Excellent legrooms & headrests for 2 adult passengers, 3rd. person is fine for shorter trip as ours is mainly a solo driven commuter car most of the time. Seatback folds almost flat forward for larger packages (great for shopping at IKEA) see full Nissan *CL55 AMG review |

The seats on this were really not nice. Cheap is the word. Poor shaping, no lumbar support. They have really improved this in the new 2012 sedan, at least. It only took them 5 years. see full Nissan *CL55 AMG review |
