2012 | 2dr SUV 285-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Even tho there are rear seats, I would never ride in back, too small back there. see full Jeep Wrangler review |
2011 | 4dr SUV 202-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
It has the ability to go back and forth but not tilt the base seat. Firm but not being able to adjust the angle (like electric 10 way) makes a difference for tall and full frame people. I will be looking to adjust angle asap. see full Jeep Wrangler review |

Tons of headroom. My daughter has lots of visibility in the back while in her car seat. Full size adults can sit back there in comfort. see full Kia Soul review |
2010 | 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Lots of head, hip, knee, and foot room. The cushions seem to get less comfortable after a solid 2-3 hours driving. But, at least around town, this is one car in which you can ask friends to sit in the back without being ashamed. see full Kia Soul review |
