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

2017 Nissan Sentra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Different people are shaped and sized differently and so will have different impressions of a given car seat. I found the Nissan Sentra's revised seats uncomfortable. A power lumbar adjustment has been added. But this was of no use, as even when minimized the lumbar bulge is overly prominent for my back. I drove with my upper back off the seat. I've had a similar problem with the seats in some small Hondas, but the seats in the new Civic fit me well. see full Nissan Sentra review
