2015 Chrysler 200 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Chrysler 200 shares its basic structure with the compact Dodge Dart. This basis is most evident in the back seat, where legroom is decent but hiproom is considerably tighter than in most midsize sedans. Thanks to the stylish roof line, rear headroom is also in short supply. The Fusion's rear seat isn't nearly the roomiest in the class, but it is roomier and more comfortable than the Chrysler's. If you need a truly roomy rear seat and all-wheel-drive in a somewhat affordable midsize sedan, buy the Legacy. see full Chrysler 200 review |

2014 Dodge Durango Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | The Durango's relatively narrow width, a plus for handling, has the opposite impact on interior room. These are very much two sides of the same coin. Because the Durango's cabin isn't terribly wide it feels more agile than wider SUVs. But three passengers in the second row don't have as much space to spread out--those in a Nissan Pathfinder enjoy a couple more inches of shoulder room--and only two people can sit in the third row. (The Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and GM's large crossovers all have three belts back there.) Leg room in the Durango is much more competitive, but still a few inches short of class leading. This said, comfort isn't only a matter of interior dimensions. Both of the Durango's rear rows are well-upholstered and positioned higher off the floor than the three-row crossover norm. This benefits both thigh support and outward visibility. The Hyundai Santa Fe isn't far off in this regard, but the Nissan Pathfinder's seats are much closer to the floor, and less hospitable to adults as a result. Among the three, I'd prefer to be a rear seat passenger in the Dodge. Among large conventional SUVs, the Ford Expedition has a more comfortable third row, but the Chevrolet Tahoe (which retains a live rear axle despite a comprehensive redesign for the 2015 model year) doesn't come close. And the foot-shorter 4Runner? Its XXS third-row seat is best saved for emergencies. On the other side of the ledger, the Durango does have a higher floor than the typical car-based crossover. Getting in and out isn't as easy. This vies with curb weight as the top disadvantage of the Durango's conventional SUV configuration. see full Dodge Durango review |
