2005 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Cramped rear seat leg room. Rear door opening tight at shoe level. Swooping c-pillar design obstructs outward visibility. see full Saab 9-2X review |

Lack of any type of lumbar support is very uncomfortable. I opened the seat and installed my own inflatable device...much better now. see full Saab 9-2X review |

2013 Hyundai Veloster Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2013 | Okay, adults won't want to spend a long road trip in the back seat of a Veloster. But given the car's sleek styling and tidy exterior dimensions, there's a surprising amount of room back there. Not only is the third door justified, but a fourth portal would also be welcome. As is, whoever sits in the left rear seat has no easy way to get to it. Between the lack of a fourth door and the presence of a low console where a fifth person might otherwise sit, it's as if they want people who regularly tote kids to get an Elantra GT. Which, sadly, isn't offered with a 201-horsepower engine. see full Hyundai Veloster review |
