2007 Nissan Sentra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD	Seats are hard. Headrest forces your head to bend too far forward. Sculpted seat backs forces your shoulders too far forward from your spine. see full Nissan Sentra review
2006	4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	With the front seats all the way back, children can barely fit their legs behind the seats. see full Nissan Sentra review

2018 Hyundai Kona Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Hyundai packaged the Kona fairly efficiently, but only so much was possible given the crossover's compact exterior dimensions. At 5-9 I can barely sit behind someone else my height, my knees nearly touching the front seat back. Put taller people in the front seats, and the rear seat would become viable only for small adults and children. The Honda HR-V has a much roomier rear seat (but much less comfortable front seats, at least for me, as their headrests jut too far forward). Most other competitors fall between the two. One exception: the Mazda CX-3 has an even tighter rear seat than the Kona. For those who fit, the Kona's rear seat is mounted comfortably high off the floor. see full Hyundai Kona review
