The Sun recumbent EZ Tandem CX & EZ Tandem AX tandems are designed by Gardner Martin of Easy Racers fame. Manufactured in Taiwan, they are the least expensive recumbents tandems I know of. Certainly built for comfort and not speed or hill climbing they are fine for many couples with moderate goals.
Most first time recumbent riders find them very comfortable and easy to get used to. Most riders, especially large riders, like the large Sun seat base. The Sun seat has quickly adjusts without tools for riders about 5' to 6' or 6'4". The seat back recline is also pretty easy to adjust. The seat base can adjust forward and back a bit relative to the seat back. Larger riders tend to like it farther forward, smaller riders like it farther back. This adjustment requires an allen wrench.
Both Sun recumbent tandems have OSS handlebars that look a bit like the bars on a Harley chopper. The bars can be adjusted with a 6 mm Allen wrench to accommodate different riders sizes and preferences. The handlebars need to be kept clamped tightly. If you pull on the handlebars when climbing a hill they will move. Doing this repeatedly will cause potentially damaging wear.
To carry one on your car takes ingenuity,
money or both. Some bike roof racks will carry one; most will need a
tandem mount. Some tandem mounts will not work with a tandem with a
wheelbase as long as the 91 wheelbase on the Sun tandems. If you remove
both wheels they can be carried on many trunk racks, without a wide load
sign ;-) This is not ideal but will work to get one home from the shop. We
have a versatile auto rack for <$60 that will carry a Sun recumbent tandem
on many cars.
We have an assortment of reasonably priced accessories to fit the Sun bikes: fenders, a rear luggage rack, under seat pannier rack, seat back bag, kickstands handlebar bags, rear view mirrors and speedometers.

Roy and June of Arizona had this to say about their Sun EZ Tandem Recumbent...
June and I finished the Tour for Tucson's
Children, a 27 mile bike ride, then rode home. Don't think we can get
off the bike! Did the ride just under 2 and a half hours. And we weren't
the last to finish!
Sun does not allow us to ship their bikes to customers in the US. If you live to far away to come test ride and pick up a Sun bike and cannot find a sun dealer in your area we could ship a Sun to a bike shop near you for assembly.
As always we recommend extensive test riding if possible. We encourage you to support dealers who offer you test rides if there is one in your area.
We also carry these recumbent brands:
