What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2010 Volkswagen Eos

2010 Volkswagen Eos Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	The car is comfy on long trips, and the seat heaters are super. The car is great with the top down—if you deploy the wind deflector, you don’t get your hair blown all over the place. The faux leather on the seats is fine-- you can only get real leather if you get the LUX model, and then you can’t have a manual transmission. see full Volkswagen Eos review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2010 Kia Soul

2010 Kia Soul Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Lots of headroom and legroom. Seat and wheel adjustments easy to make. Feels larger than it actually is. see full Kia Soul review
2010	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Comfort of an intermediate-size car, with everything in easy reach. Able to maintain comfortable safety belt adjustment. see full Kia Soul review
2010	4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Tons of headroom. My daughter has lots of visibility in the back while in her car seat. Full size adults can sit back there in comfort. see full Kia Soul review
2010	4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Lots of head, hip, knee, and foot room. The cushions seem to get less comfortable after a solid 2-3 hours driving. But, at least around town, this is one car in which you can ask friends to sit in the back without being ashamed. see full Kia Soul review
2010	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Large enought for two adults see full Kia Soul review
2010	4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I am over 6 feet tall and even with the moon roof, I have a ton of headroom and leg room. see full Kia Soul review
2010	4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	My kids are tall too and with my seat adjusted to my liking, there is a ton of head room and leg room in the back. Love the folding rear seats. see full Kia Soul review
2010	4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	You can fit another two big people behind you even when you are a 6 footer. Headrests for all passangers. Safety side curtains for all passengers. see full Kia Soul review
