2012 Volvo C70 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2013 | 2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Great front seats, very comfortable. Minimal wind buffeting with the top down. Volvo offered an accessory wind blocker with this model but it's not necessary. Interior trim on the arm rests could be softer. My elbow gets sore resting on the hard plastic. I keep a small fleece pad in the car to solve this little issue. see full Volvo C70 review |
2009 Kia Rondo Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2008 | 4dr Wagon 182-horsepower 2.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Tall large people can sit in the second row with more comfort as they can in the front seats of our Honda Civic or Sebring convertible. Third row is not bad for short trips for adults and children would be good for longer trips. see full Kia Rondo review |
