2014 Toyota Camry Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2015 | The Camry's rear seat isn't quite as roomy as the Accord's but it's close, and both are much roomier than the Ford's. The rear seat cushions in all three sedans are high enough to provide decent thigh support for adults. Missed in the Camry Hybrid SE, though: a rear air vent. If you want one, you'll need a higher trim level--or one of the competitors. see full Toyota Camry review |

2013 | 0 | Nice ergonomic shape, but not enough padding. Leather seats feel decidedly firm after two months of ownership. Seat cushion length should be slightly longer for thigh support. see full Toyota Camry review |
2019 Kia Forte Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2019 | I found both rows of seats comfortable in the Kia. Outward visibility from the driver seat is pretty good, though the windshield is raked a bit much for my taste. Rear seat passengers enjoy a cushion comfortably high off the floor (unlike the Civic's) and a relatively open view forward. I personally have issues with the shape of the front seats in compact Hondas. Both their lumbar bulges and their headrests just too far forward. Try thoroughly before buying. see full Kia Forte review |
