TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Kia Soul

2013 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
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

2013 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

2011 4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Three adult room in the back seat - comfortably! see full Ford Taurus review
2012 Ford Taurus Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 0 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The front seats are horrible- similar to airline seats, and no amount of adjusting or adding cushions helped. I'm 6'2 and my wife is 5'3.and neither of us could get comfortable. After 2 weeks, it was actually painful to drive this car. see full Ford Taurus review
2012 0 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Not enough headroom for adults in the rear seat. Seat comfort is as poor as the front seats. see full Ford Taurus review
