What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Kia Rondo
| 2009 Kia Rondo Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |
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 |
