TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Kia Soul
| 2011 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 | ||

| 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 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 |

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 122-horsepower 1.6L 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 |

| 2012 | 2dr Hatch 121-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Rear seat room is extremely limited but it's a Mini...not a mini van! see full Mini Hardtop review |
