The seats are similarly sufficient for casual around-town driving but subpar for even moderate distances. Less than half way through our four-hour drive the hard, flat cushions grew uncomfortable. see full Kia Soul review |

2014 | 0 | The front seat is every bit as uncomfortable as the previous model. No improvement here. A tall person will be more comfortable sitting in the rear seat. see full Kia Soul review |

SE vs. SXT. The rear seats and bench are comfortable for 5 people. The SXT is exactly the same, but leather is cooold in winter. Both have more room than other brands. see full Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan review |

Stow-n-go seating is very uncomfortable. Rotating seats have no room to sit face to face with rear seat passengers. Base model forces one to get a center bench. see full Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan review |
