The seat is not as comfortable as Chrysler or Toyota. This is not an issue except for very long trips (6-8 hrs). see full Nissan Quest review |
TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Kia Soul
| 2013 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| The seats are similarly sufficient for casual around-town driving but subpar for even moderate distances. Less than half way through our four-hour drive the hard, flat cushions grew uncomfortable. see full Kia Soul review | ||
What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Kia Soul
| 2013 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

| 2014 | 0 | Excellent room both up front and in the backseat for tall people. Same as previous model see full Kia Soul review |
| 2013 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2014 | 0 | The front seat is every bit as uncomfortable as the previous model. No improvement here. A tall person will be more comfortable sitting in the rear seat. see full Kia Soul review |
