The Kia Sorento had very good seating positions in the front for a very tall person, I'm almost 6'5" and was able to fit with the sunroof / panaramic roof. You get a feeling of control and confidence. You do loose about 1" or so with the see full Kia Sorento review |

Need 7 passenger seating and the Sorento has delivered. Used 3rd row quite a few times with children AND adults. No complaints, although 3rd ride was usually no more than one hour. see full Kia Sorento review |

Needs an adjustable second row and a little more cargo room when the third row seat is up. see full Kia Sorento review |

3rd row is tiny, and you are forced to get it, if you want the V-6 see full Kia Sorento review |
2016 Dodge Charger Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2015 | The Road & Track package includes some of the best front seats I've experienced. The side bolsters, though not adjustable, manage to effectively hold slender drivers in place without uncomfortably constraining far-from-slender ones. Synthetic suede center panels assist in this task. Yet as performance-oriented as these seats are, they aren't overly firm, and should prove comfortable even on day-long drives. Despite the more hardcore nature of the Chevrolet SS, its front seats have much smaller, far less effective bolsters. Some synthetic suede helps to mitigate this shortcoming, but the Dodge's buckets are much better for both comfort and support. see full Dodge Charger review |
2016 Dodge Charger Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Dodge Charger's rear seat cushion is comfortably shaped and positioned. Rear knee room, though less abundant than the sedan's exterior dimensions might suggest, is neverless generous. So what is rear seat room doing among the reasons not to buy a Charger? Well, headroom is in short supply. People 5-11 and up could become painfully familiar with the backlight. Shorter passengers won't experience this issue, but could find the back seat uncomfortably confining because the smallish rear side windows descend only to neck level. For more rear headroom and larger rear side windows, check out the related Chrysler 300. Or the Chevrolet SS, which has 1.4 inches more rear headroom than the Charger. see full Dodge Charger review |
