2014 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 |

The front leather seating is very comfortable. Having the heated front seats in twe winter allows for quick comfort. The multi adjustable seating for both driver and passenger allows for each to set seats to their liking then set in the memory location see full Volvo XC90 review |
