2009 Kia Sedona Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 250-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great second row. Not so convinced by third row comfort. see full Kia Sedona review

2011 Volkswagen Eos Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
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
