2008 | 4dr Wagon 182-horsepower 2.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Tall large people can sit in the second row with more comfort as they can in the front seats of our Honda Civic or Sebring convertible. Third row is not bad for short trips for adults and children would be good for longer trips. see full Kia Rondo review |

It is difficult to find a comfortable driving position in the manual seat because the seat tilts forward as it lifts up. Lumbar support is poor an the steering wheel is too far away. see full Kia Rondo review |

The front seat did not go back far enough for a very tall person, headroom was good, head rest pushes your head forward which is horrible. Passenger seat has a glove box near ankles which hits your shins. I guess they used midgets to design the car. see full Honda Pilot review |

I actually thought the limited edition of the pilot had a nice leather seats and I liked the position of the video screen. The only part that bothered me was access to the third row was circus like. see full Honda Pilot review |
