2015 Hyundai Veloster Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2015 | 3dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
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 caravan style arm rests are ugly but extremely comfortable. see full Honda CR-V review |

Looking for familly smallish SUV and our other option was a RAV-4, the CR-V felt like it had better hip and leg room in the rear. see full Honda CR-V review |

2010 | 4dr SUV 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Could not find a comfortable position, even with a power seat. see full Honda CR-V review |
2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Roomy enough, but materials feel cheap. Bench is very thin and hard on long trip. Good leg room, but overall not as nicely done as the VW Tiguan. see full Honda CR-V review |

Seats need another couple of inches of depth to provide anyone over six feet tall with proper thigh support. A little on the firm side after a couple of hours. Could also be improved with better lateral support. Not a deal breaker unless you expect a Volvo type lounger. see full Honda CR-V review |
2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
In typical Japanese Small Car fashion, the front seats have very little thigh support for a 5ft 10inch person. The back support and position can be quite painful over 500 or more miles. This marred the ownership experience see full Honda CR-V review |
