| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 2dr Hatch 180-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
A fastback car with actual usable back seats! Coupes tend to have cramped back setas, but in this case it is very comfortable sitting in the back for extended periods of time. see full Scion tC review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 161-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Spacious enough to allow my 84 year old mother to get in and out without injuring herself! see full Kia Optima review |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 161-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
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 |
