What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Kia Spectra

2009 Kia Spectra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2018 Toyota Highlander

2018 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2018 4dr SUV 295-horsepower 3.5L V6
8-speed shiftable automatic AWD
3rd row seat is midget sized. Claiming that the Highlander is an 8-passenger vehicle is a lie. It's either 5 normal-sized people, or Snow White and the 7 dwarfs. There is no way you can accommodate 8 normal-sized people comfortably in this car. see full Toyota Highlander review
