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

uncomfortable - back pain 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
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan

2015 Volkswagen Tiguan Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2014 Based on the specs, the Tiguan suffers from insufficient dimensions. It's 3.6 inches less lengthy than the Escape, and as a result has an inch less legroom. And the Ford falls near the bottom of the segment in this spec. In the real world, though, the Tiguan's rear seat feels roomier and more comfortable than the Escape's and in the ballpark with the class leaders. A relatively large seat bottom is high enough off the floor to provide adults with thigh support. The rear seat back is more comfortably shaped than the compact crossover norm, and reclines. One nit: hard plastic isn't the most comfortable surface for a rear armrest. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
