2006 Chevrolet HHR Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2007 | 4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Extremly comfortable. You have to sit in it to understand. The leather seat is more comfortable than the cloth seat. see full Chevrolet HHR review |

The rear seat room is relatively large. On long road trips when i am not driving, my back starts to hurt and i cant find a comfortable position to sit in. see full Chevrolet HHR review |

2013 Volkswagen Jetta Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2013 | The Jetta is a little longer than the ILX (182 vs. 179 inches), and all of the additional inches appear to have gone into the rear seat. While the average adult will barely fit into the back seat of the Acura (those over 5-9 will be on close terms with the headliner), the Jetta has significantly more rear headroom and more rear legroom than the average midsize sedan, much less the average compact. If you like a roomy rear seat, you'll love the Jetta. Room is one thing, comfort another. The rear seat feels overly hard, and neither the cushion nor the backrest was set at a comfortable angle for me. Clearly some German engineer found these angles optimal, though. So maybe it's just me. see full Volkswagen Jetta review |
