Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2009 | 2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
It was a two seater, and I enjoy driving with people around. see full Nissan 350Z / 370Z review |
2008 | 2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
very cramped, not designed for very long rides. Not for tall people. see full Nissan 350Z / 370Z review |
2019 Kia Forte Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2019 | I found both rows of seats comfortable in the Kia. Outward visibility from the driver seat is pretty good, though the windshield is raked a bit much for my taste. Rear seat passengers enjoy a cushion comfortably high off the floor (unlike the Civic's) and a relatively open view forward. I personally have issues with the shape of the front seats in compact Hondas. Both their lumbar bulges and their headrests just too far forward. Try thoroughly before buying. see full Kia Forte review |
