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

2007 Nissan Versa Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	The seats on this were really not nice. Cheap is the word. Poor shaping, no lumbar support. They have really improved this in the new 2012 sedan, at least. It only took them 5 years. see full Nissan Versa review
