2013 Hyundai Veloster Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	Okay, adults won't want to spend a long road trip in the back seat of a Veloster. But given the car's sleek styling and tidy exterior dimensions, there's a surprising amount of room back there. Not only is the third door justified, but a fourth portal would also be welcome. As is, whoever sits in the left rear seat has no easy way to get to it. Between the lack of a fourth door and the presence of a low console where a fifth person might otherwise sit, it's as if they want people who regularly tote kids to get an Elantra GT. Which, sadly, isn't offered with a 201-horsepower engine. see full Hyundai Veloster review

2008 Acura RL Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	A little tight up front especially when compared to the M35 which is very roomy. see full Acura RL review
2007	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Again, tight when compared to the M35. see full Acura RL review
