After driving the Optima for five days straight for 10+ hours per day, other than the occasional stop, on a road trip, not one time did I get a sore back or thighs. see full Kia Optima review |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Few cars offer the marriage of rear wheel drive performance with this amount of back seat room for the longer ride (travelling) with 4 adults. see full Hyundai Genesis review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Lots of leg room and width. Air conditioning and heat controls that can be controlled separately from the front passengers choices. Rear window shade. see full Hyundai Genesis review |

No discomfort noted on several trips of 250+ miles. Adjustable lumbar support is very nice (not just in/out, but also up/down). see full Hyundai Genesis review |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 375-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
almost Teutonic front seats see full Hyundai Genesis review |

First, I am a tall person and the seatbelt height adjustment does not go high enough, so if an accident should occur I believe that the shoulder belt will slip off. Also, the seats could be built more comfortable, more sporty. see full Hyundai Genesis review |
