2013 Audi allroad Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Audi suggests that, despite the platform downgrade, the new allroad is pretty close in size to the old one because its cars have been growing with each redesign. Yet while the original allroad felt like a midsize car inside, the new one feels like a compact, especially in the back seat, where both shoulder room and legroom are down by a couple of inches. The average adult will fit, but without much room to spare. This said, the "midsize" Volvo XC70 provides a couple inches more shoulder room but no more leg room. see full Audi allroad review

2006 Ford Explorer Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Have driven from Maryland to Florida and back a couple of times, as well as 3-4 hours trips routinely. Seats are comfortable with no backache and don't have to stop every couple of hours due to fatigue. Could drive and be comfortable all day long. see full Ford Explorer review
2005	4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Lots of room. Great even in the 3rd rear bench see full Ford Explorer review
2005	4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Plenty of leg room see full Ford Explorer review
