2006 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
Lots of room in the backs seat, and actually decent 3rd row seating for the kids. Kills the cargo area though. see full Toyota 4Runner review

Plenty of room for 3 people. see full Toyota 4Runner review

2007 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6

This is a vehicle designed for people 5 fett 11 inches and under - no two ways about it. If you are 5 feel 11 or over you will not enjoy this truck. see full Toyota 4Runner review

The consequence of reducing overall height while maintaining trail worthy obstacle clearance is a relatively low to floor seating position more attune to sedans. Seats are comfortable though even for a big framed person. see full Toyota 4Runner review

Seat position low to floor leaves you sitting with a knee high position. Seats itself are comfortable, but there is no space for your feet under the front seats. All floor surfaces are almost flat though considering it truck roots. see full Toyota 4Runner review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Hyundai Sonata

2012 Hyundai Sonata Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2013 According to the EPA's classification system, the Hyundai Sonata is actually a large car. You wouldn't guess this while sitting in the front seat. A steeply raked windshield and cockpit-like instrument panel design cut into actual roominess, and perceived roominess even more. The Sonata's firm front buckets could use more form-fitting contouring. Though not uncomfortable, they are the least comfortable buckets in this threesome. In the back seat, six-foot passengers' scalps might graze the headliner, but knee room is generous. There's a bit more room and a more comfortably padded and positioned rear seat cushion inside the Altima. But the Mazda6's rear seat is at least as low to the floor as the Sonata's and includes a couple inches less knee room. So the Hyundai has a slight edge over the Mazda. see full Hyundai Sonata review

2013 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The front driver seat is supportive yet firm and the power adjustments guarantee you'll get the right driving position for you. The heated seat feature is great on a cold morning too. see full Hyundai Sonata review
2011 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4

Big enough for 6 feet 2 inch man. see full Hyundai Sonata review

2013 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Ride is comfortable but after about 2 or 3 hours, the leather seats get a bit hard on the butt. see full Hyundai Sonata review
2012 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Have the Limited with leather heated seats. They are not as comfortable as expected. The seat bolsters are a little tight for my back side. see full Hyundai Sonata review
2011 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Although adequate, long drives with more than two people in the car would be cramped. see full Hyundai Sonata review

uncomfortable - back pain see full Hyundai Sonata review
