2020 Toyota RAV4 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

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.

Seats are comfortable but the cockpit seems designed to enfold you and while there is plenty of dose it doesn't feel roomy. The console is over large.

Very comfortable Recaro seats, even on long drives. Larger people may not be comfortable so beware.

Given the RX-8's compact dimensions, you wouldn't expect rear seat space to be a strength. But thanks to clever packaging and a subtly high roofline, there is actually space for real adults in back, provided those up front are short or move their seats up somewhat.
With a pair of pickup-like rear-opening "half" rear doors, ingress and egress for rear seat passengers is a snap.
For those who want a sports car but have children or need to transport a few friends occassionally, the RX-8 fits the bill nicely.

The R3 Recaro seats had side bolsters that were a bit tight for us. I am below average in size as a male, and my wife is also very small and we found the bolsters cut into our hips far more than was comfortable. The seats are racing oriented only.
