2010 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Lots of headroom and legroom. Seat and wheel adjustments easy to make. Feels larger than it actually is. see full Kia Soul review
2010	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Comfort of an intermediate-size car, with everything in easy reach. Able to maintain comfortable safety belt adjustment. see full Kia Soul review
2010	4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Tons of headroom. My daughter has lots of visibility in the back while in her car seat. Full size adults can sit back there in comfort. see full Kia Soul review
2010	4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Lots of head, hip, knee, and foot room. The cushions seem to get less comfortable after a solid 2-3 hours driving. But, at least around town, this is one car in which you can ask friends to sit in the back without being ashamed. see full Kia Soul review
2010	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Large enought for two adults see full Kia Soul review
2010	4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I am over 6 feet tall and even with the moon roof, I have a ton of headroom and leg room. see full Kia Soul review
2010	4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	My kids are tall too and with my seat adjusted to my liking, there is a ton of head room and leg room in the back. Love the folding rear seats. see full Kia Soul review
2010	4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	You can fit another two big people behind you even when you are a 6 footer. Headrests for all passangers. Safety side curtains for all passengers. see full Kia Soul review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban

2014 Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	Some (perhaps more than some) people are drawn to large SUVs because they like to feel like the king of the road when behind the wheel. Others need a lot of space while driving, or at least feel they do. Few vehicles have more front seat room than the new Tahoe. With an inch-and-a-half less shoulder room, the Ford's front-row dimensions aren't quite as generous, and its taller, shifter-festooned console is more intrusive. The front seats are comfortable in both. The Expedition's are a little wider and softer, and they're upholstered with especially rich hides in the King Ranch and Platinum (vs. the most recently tested and photographed Limited). Whether this is preferable is a matter of taste. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review

2014 Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Both the Tahoe and Expedition have roomy, comfortable second-row seats, with a slight edge to the higher cushions in the Chevrolet. Bonus points to the Tahoe for automatic rear climate controls (they're manual in the Expedition). Move to the third-row seat, and you'll wonder why, despite redesigns for 2007 and 2015, General Motors has stubbornly refused to follow Ford's 2003 switch from a solid rear axle to an independent rear suspension. With a solid axle, the rear floor must be high to permit the rear differential to travel up and down when a wheel hits a bump. Consequently, the Tahoe's third row seat must be very thinly constructed and mounted very close to the floor. Even pre-teen children won't be comfortable in it. In sharp contrast, the Expedition's third-row seat is higher off the floor than its second-row seat, much less the ridiculously low third row in the Tahoe, and is--surprise--considerably more comfortable as a result. The Suburban's third-row seat is roomier than the Tahoe's but still far inferior to the Expedition's. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review
