Major seven hour trip in total comfort for both of us. Not one ache or pain or "I gotta get out of this car" see full Buick Regal review |

Since the car came from Opel (EU), it is naturally made for smaller fold. The rear is comfortable, just a little lacking in legroom at times. see full Buick Regal review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2015 | 0 | I love the driver's seat -- it's supportive, comfortable and cushy. I like the power lumbar feature on the SXT that lets you position it up/down and larger/smaller. Not so big on the manual recline with the power seat -- adjustments to the seat bottom don't move the seatback. see full Dodge Journey review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2015 | 0 | This is NOT a vehicle for a family of six. There were nonstop complaints about legroom from all my kids -- the 8-year-old twins in the wayback, the teenagers in the middle row. I couldn't be comfortable in the driver's seat, so that my son could have enough room to actually sit straight in the middle row, while giving his little sister enough room for her feet in the back row. It's a "make-do" or "in a pinch" 6-passenger car. Across town with 6 people is okay, across the state would incite a riot and mutiny. see full Dodge Journey review |
