2013 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	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	Excellent room both up front and in the backseat for tall people. Same as previous model see full Kia Soul review

2013 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
