Extremely uncomfortable driver seat. This was the base model with cloth manual seats. They are too hard . see full Pontiac G6 review |

After driving the Optima for five days straight for 10+ hours per day, other than the occasional stop, on a road trip, not one time did I get a sore back or thighs. see full Kia Optima review |
