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

2006 Nissan Sentra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD	Seats are hard. Headrest forces your head to bend too far forward. Sculpted seat backs forces your shoulders too far forward from your spine. see full Nissan Sentra review
2006	4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	With the front seats all the way back, children can barely fit their legs behind the seats. see full Nissan Sentra review
