What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Kia Spectra
| 2008 Kia Spectra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Very comfortable for prolonged around-town driving, not bad for long trips. Could use adjustable lumbar support, but all other adjustments are very good. The non-sueded cloth is comfortable and durable. see full Kia Spectra review |

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

Small children, petite women and Hobbits may sit in the back on short trips. Otherwise, forget it. It's a MINI! see full Mini Hardtop review |
