What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Kia Rio
| 2015 Kia Rio Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2016 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I did manage to get four people in the car but it was tight and the two in the back seat were not big adults (under 5'8"). We had to adjust the front passenger seat up a bit to make more room for the person behind. see full Kia Rio review |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Ford Explorer
| 2006 Ford Explorer Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Have driven from Maryland to Florida and back a couple of times, as well as 3-4 hours trips routinely. Seats are comfortable with no backache and don't have to stop every couple of hours due to fatigue. Could drive and be comfortable all day long. see full Ford Explorer review |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Lots of room. Great even in the 3rd rear bench see full Ford Explorer review |
