2013 Kia Optima Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Optima's rear seat is comfortably shaped, and includes plenty of room for passengers to stretch out their legs. Heads are a different matter. Though I'm only 5-9, if I still had much hair it would have been brushing the headliner. The Fusion provides a little more rear headroom, but less knee room. Buyers seeking a rear seat suitable for large adults won't be happy with this aspect of either car. see full Kia Optima review |

2011 | 2dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
No rear seats in the US version, which greatly reduces passenger utility. However, the storage space is much bigger than many cars in the same price range. Driver and passenger seats are otherwise adequately comfortable. see full Honda CR-Z review |
