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 |
2013 Kia Optima Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Optima's rear seat is comfortably shaped, and includes plenty of room for passengers to stretch out their legs. Heads are a different matter. Though I'm only 5-9, if I still had much hair it would have been brushing the headliner. The Fusion provides a little more rear headroom, but less knee room. Buyers seeking a rear seat suitable for large adults won't be happy with this aspect of either car. see full Kia Optima review |
