2010 | 4dr Hatch 150-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual 4WD |
Very little room for driver and passengers. Driver is almost touching windshield by a forehead. A small leg room too especially for driver and rear passengers. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

I will say the rear seat was fairly comfortable although my hair was brushing up against the ceiling. Impossible to put 4 people in this car comfortably. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

2018 Toyota RAV4 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
I initially noted that the well-bolstered driver seat felt "ok." But after a few hours in it my rear started to feel sore. To be fair, I haven't had enough seat time in competitors to state that they fit me better. And even if they do, this could just be me. People come in many different shapes and sizes, have different postures, and so forth. Pity seat designers! The upshot: no one else can tell you how comfortable a seat will be for you. Make the test drive as long as you can before buying. see full Toyota RAV4 review |
