2008 Pontiac Torrent Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	The rear seat slides for and aft making for lots of leg room or more cargo space when you need it. I also like the center armrest and upright position. see full Pontiac Torrent review

2014 Kia Sportage Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr SUV	Seats are just not comfortable for any trips lasting more than an hour. I'm 6'1 and my wife is 5'6" and we both found the seats to be uncomfortable on long trips see full Kia Sportage review
