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 2011 Volkswagen Eos

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
The back seat is not comfortable and has limited leg room. While the latter may be typical of some convertibles, leg room is less than on previous convertibles I have owned. see full Volkswagen Eos review |
