2013 Buick Encore Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
From the neck down, the Encore's high-mounted, cushy-yet-firm seats deliver comfort congruent with its mission. Some people also won't have a problem with their design from the neck up. Others will find the headrests uncomfortable and too far forward. Given the Encore's compact exterior, it should come as no surprise that even the more-compact-than-most-compact-crossovers Tucson has a few more inches for both shoulders and legs. But the Buick nevertheless has enough room inside to comfortably seat four good-sized adults. It helps that the rear seat is comfortably high off the floor and that there's a lot of room for the rear passengers' feet beneath the front seats. Children, especially those who've outgrown boosters, will have more to complain about. They'll easily fit, but their view outward through the small, high rear side windows will be limited to the treetops. Though the front seats in the Tucson aren't as comfortable as those in the Encore, with a less luxurious feel and less supportive side bolsters, their headrests aren't overly intrusive. Rear seat passengers won't find the cushion as comfortably positioned, but small ones will have a somewhat easier time seeing out its side windows. see full Buick Encore review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2012 | 4dr SUT 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
I too love that the rearseats can both flip up. This offers me alot of rear floor space to haul my music gear instead of laying it out on the rear bed area. see full Honda Ridgeline review |

The interior is the Ridgelines stronges point. Comfortable front and back and a feeling a space. The lack of transmission tunnel and column mounted shifter in particular make the front cabin roomy. see full Honda Ridgeline review |
