2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	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.

2011	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	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

2018 Mini Clubman Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2017	4dr Wagon turbocharged 189hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD	The sport seats in the basic black leatherette are nicely bolstered though not overly enveloping like seats in my FR-S. This means it hits a nice middle ground of comfort but still keeping you from being thrown around in aggressive driving. The manually adjusted seats are easily positioned to a comfortable state after you figure out which of the 4 levers is doing what. The adjustible thigh support is especially nice and not something I often see in this segment. see full Mini Clubman review
