Rear seat slides 8" forward and back. In the back position, excellent leg room for adults. When slid forward, good rear cargo room. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

Front seat comfort and room is great. Driver side lumbar support continues to work great. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

We really like the track sliding nature of the rear seat. Give passengers in the back plenty of leg room. Also, the large rear doors make it quite easy for our aging parents to get in and out of this vehicle. This feature, more than any other, really "sold" us on the Chevy Equinox. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

The equinox was one of the very few cars that could swallow both a double stroller and two infant seats with ease. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

Front seats are not very supportive, and you sink down into them see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

I like the firmness of the front seats, but others may have an issue with it. Seat width leans to the narrow side however, and shoulder room is merely adequate. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

Rear seat legroom is phenominal (and one of the big reasons I chose the Equinox) when you slide it all the way back. This is the first vehicle I've owned where you can fit 4 6'+ people without anyone having to readjust their seats or compromise in any way. The rear seats also recline to a small degree which is an added bonus. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

Plenty of room in the first and second rows. The third row will fit an adult, but is better for the kids. see full Ford Flex review |

My over 6 foot tall friends absolutely love my Flex because their knees never touch the backs of the front seats. The rear seat is like sitting in a stretch limo. With plenty of cup holders and storage for all to enjoy. see full Ford Flex review |

The second row seats have limo class legroom and are sofa comfy. The second row screams road trip. The third row seats are ample for cross town trips for adults (6ft folks will fit) and should be no problems for the smaller ones. see full Ford Flex review |

Took awhile to think of something that could be improved but a bit larger area in the front drivers footwell would be appreciated. That's about it. see full Ford Flex review |
