Two middle seats are bucket seats and VERY comfortable. Leg room in 3rd row is a little limited. see full Toyota Sienna review |

The 3rd row seats have enough leg room and the seats themselves are well built. That said, I have not tried the 3rd row seats of close competitors like the Odyssey see full Toyota Sienna review |

The Sienna is an excellent family vehicle if interior space and overall capability are your priorities. It is comfortable for long family drives and you NEVER run out of space in this car. see full Toyota Sienna review |

I have the CE which does not have adjustable lumbar support or 8-way adjustments. The seat has a fixed height, which is a bit too high for me. Also the seat is a bit too deep. see full Toyota Sienna review |

Seat cushion has an uncomfortable contour at rear of seat and the armrests are uncomfortable. see full Toyota Sienna review |

At $35,000 I think it could be much better. Hurts more than my Tacoma 4X4 after a long drive. see full Toyota Sienna review |
2020 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2021 | Though adjustments to their shape are limited to power lumbar, the new Hyundai Elantra's well-bolstered front seats fit me especially well. Your size and shape likely differ from mine, so impressions of seat comfort will vary. Whether they fit or not, in the Elantra Limited (unlike in the Forte) they are upholstered in real leather and would not appear out of place in an Audi. see full Hyundai Elantra review |

Rear seat passengers enjoy abundant knee room, but those of more than middling height will find headroom and thigh support marginal at best. These weaknesses are fairly common in current compact sedans, but the Forte, with a taller, less swoopy roof line, has a more comfortably positioned rear seat and a bit more rear headroom. see full Hyundai Elantra review |
