What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2010 Kia Soul

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

2010	4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	It felt smaller than the measurements suggested, relative to its competitors. see full Kia Soul review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Fiat 500

2016 Fiat 500 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2015	2dr Hatch turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Rear seating is very cramped, and the ease of entry/exit is poor. Think of the rear seats as emergency seating- like a Porsche 911, and you get the idea. No one will want to travel across town in the rear seats. Forget a road trip entirely. see full Fiat 500 review
2015	2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Roomy in front but narrow. With two people in front you're bound to rub shoulders or arms when using the arm rests. see full Fiat 500 review
2015	2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I would not put anyone on the rear seats. Maybe very short people for short distances. see full Fiat 500 review
