The headrest position is horrible for long trips. Felt like my head was being pushed forward. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |

I did manage to get four people in the car but it was tight and the two in the back seat were not big adults (under 5'8"). We had to adjust the front passenger seat up a bit to make more room for the person behind. see full Kia Rio review |
