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 |

The third seat was a major factor in our decision process. 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 |

Good size second row seat. Plenty of room for adults and can fit three child car seats. see full Kia Sorento review |

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Nissan Sentra
| 2012 Nissan Sentra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| The Nissan Sentra offers a smooth, quiet ride and about as much passenger (and cargo) room as you'll find in a compact sedan. Open the door, and the SL's leather-trimmed interior appears luxurious. Sit down, though, and the illusion crumbles. Unlike those in the Altima, the Sentra's flat, firm seats provide little in the way of comfort or support. A tilt adjustment for the driver seat would help, but one is not offered. The Civic's seats aren't much cushier, but their shape provides better support. For the best seats in the segment, check out the Chevrolet Cruze and Ford Focus. see full Nissan Sentra review | ||
