2015 Hyundai Veloster Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||

The Veloster is setup like a sports car - stiff suspension, low riding height, and sport seats designed to keep you in place. What this car is not is comfortable. At all. There is almost no back support, and little coushining. On a long trip, it will be PAIN. On roads trampled on by dinosaurs, it will be PAIN. The interior accents also get in the way of resting your legs on anything, so you have to just deal with the space provided, which isn't much. This car is just big enough, and not a milimeter more. see full Hyundai Veloster review |

The best thing is the flexibility of the cabin configuration. I have tall in-laws and my wife and I are both tall, so the adjustments you can make to the cabin configuration depending on the use are important. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

See above. When we are alone, we put the back seats all the way forward and the front seats all the way back, maximizing hauling space. When accompanied, we change it to maximize rear passenger spce. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

Seat is okay on the interstate, but on a twisty road - forget it! Good thing it has a drivers door and a console, otherwise you would fall out or wind up in the passenger seat. Speaking of the console, what a joke!!! Idiot that designed that should be see full Chevrolet Equinox review |
