2013 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
I am six feet tall with a long torso and legs, so I usually have the seat pretty far back. With the front seat in a comfortable position, the rear seats have plenty of leg and head room for adults, even more so for my kids. see full Mazda Mazda6 review |

2007 | 4dr Sedan 234-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Other sedans I have owned always left something to be desired in the back seat. Not the Sonata. With so much rear space you really feel like you are in a full sized car! Plus being a big guy has always cramped my rear passengers until now! see full Hyundai Sonata review |
