I can set the front seat in a comfortable location for myself and still have room behind me for a rear seat passenger. Seat can be positioned for a more chair-like seating position. see full Dodge Challenger review |

Larger/wider back seat with capability of handling modern child seats. Adequate space for occasional adult use of back seat. see full Dodge Challenger review |

With the tilt/telescope steering wheel and the larger interior room vs. its competitors this car is easily adjusted to fit the driver and I get out still feeling good after all-day drives. see full Dodge Challenger review |

The most comfortable seats I have ever been in can drive all day and back does not hurt. see full Dodge Challenger review |

I bought this vehicle to be able to transport my grandchildren back and forth between New Jersey and Ohio. I have the 2LT version with four captains chairs and really enjoy the convienence of not having to move a middle row seat to allow one of them to get into the "way back". Having three kids jammed together in a middle seat for an 8 hour drive is courting disaster--that's why I needed that third seat. Everyone has plenty of space. Normally I find any drive over 4 hours a bit uncomfortable but the seat and driver's position was very relaxing and comfortable. This particular vehicle has the most room for storage behind the third seat than any in its class. It is only beat by minivans and they just aren't my kind of vehicle. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |

The second row captain's chairs are roomy and comfortable. The third row bench seat has a surprising amount of space, in particular with the 2nd row seats slid forward some. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |

The seats we have on our LT are fine but the headrest on both cars I've had jut out too far and cannot be adjusted back far enough to be comfortable. This is particularly uncomfortable on longer trips. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |
