2014 Hyundai Sonata Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	According to the spec sheets, the Ford Fusion has nearly as much combined legroom as the new Sonata, which has an inch more than the old Sonata. But Ford cheats the specs. In reality, the Hyundai's rear seat has a few more inches of rear legroom than the Ford's, and about as much as you'll find in any competitor. Rear headroom is in shorter supply, but (again as in most competitors) should be sufficient for people up to six feet in height. The rear seat cushion is a little too low and level to provide optimal thigh support, but the space to stretch out largely compensates for this. You can get rear air vents to help cool this roomy rear seat, but only on the Limited and Sport 2.0T. see full Hyundai Sonata review

2013	4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	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

2013	4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	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

2010	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	The seats go way back and have a high range of motion. This car is more roomy than my previous car which was a 2002 Acura TL. see full Volkswagen CC review

2012	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	legroom is great but headroom is tight for over 6 foot see full Volkswagen CC review
2010	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	The cc only seats four. This is only a downfall if seating 5 is going to be necessary. The rear seat is very stylish and comfortable though. see full Volkswagen CC review
