TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Hyundai Veloster

2012 Hyundai Veloster Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
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

2006 Ford Taurus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr Sedan 153-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD
Seats are above average in comfort. see full Ford Taurus review
2006 4dr Sedan 153-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD
Front seat room is above average. see full Ford Taurus review
2005 4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD
We chose this wagon initially because it was the only sedan we could find that fit 2 carseats and an adult, or 3 carseats comfortably in the rear seat. Also, the two additional seats in the cargo area are nice if there are more kids along. see full Ford Taurus review

Great for long drives, lots of little "smart" features. see full Ford Taurus review
