2016 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 |

leather seat "baquet" has very good lateral control, but leather is slippery on braking see full Subaru Forester review |

Enough room to feel comfortable, even at 6 feet tall. The fact that the Premium Trim package allows rear seats to recline a bit helps a lot as well. see full Subaru Forester review |
