2009 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 |

2009 | 4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I can adjust the seat back so I can reach all controls with just arm movement. I can raise the seat so my thighs are fully supported right out to my knees. see full Toyota Yaris review |
