2003 | 4dr SUT 285-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Power adjustable leather seats, adjustable pedals, with driver memory for positioning of all that. Seats were still comfortable after twelve hours of driving, with two 20 minute breaks. see full Chevrolet Avalanche review |

Three real adults can sit there for hours. Large under-seat space to store backpacks, jackets, etc. Very effective A/C in rear. see full Chevrolet Avalanche review |

2011 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD |
The Odyssey has the best seat setup of any minivan on the market, by a large margin. Standard 8th seat, which is usable, easy to flip the 3rd row, adjustable 2nd row without floor rails to collect debris from kiddos. see full Honda Odyssey review |

Nice and roomy 2nd row, we really like the Wide mode seating. Very nice 3rd row usable by adults. see full Honda Odyssey review |

The seats are still more thinly padded than the competition - and the third row seat angle is merely adequate. My mother in law noted that our Ody 3rd row is really like a standard seat - not "3rd class" - but the Pacifica made her feel like she was "stuck in the back". see full Honda Odyssey review |
