TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Kia Cadenza

2015 Kia Cadenza Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	The Impala has an inch or two more rear legroom than the Cadenza, but this difference is much like that between a pool that is 12 feet deep and one that is 15. All of these sedans have more rear legroom than all but the tallest passengers will need. The Cadenza more than makes up for this trivial difference in quantity with a rear seat cushion that is more comfortably shaped and positioned than that in the Impala, and cushier than the overly firm park bench in the Avalon. The Azera's rear seat is similar, though. If you are carrying tall passengers in back, headroom will be a factor long before legroom will. None of these cars have an abundance of it. When both the Cadenza and the Impala are fitted with panoramic sunroofs the Impala has about a half-inch more. Not a large amount, but for some people it will be the difference between contacting the headliner and not contacting it. see full Kia Cadenza review

2008	4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Front seats felt snug and the center console intruded on the driver side knee room. see full Mazda CX-9 review
2008	4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I would rather have more second row leg room and no third row. My third row is always folded down for cargo anyway. see full Mazda CX-9 review
