2016 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2016	4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I bought this vehicle to be able to transport my grandchildren back and forth between New Jersey and Ohio. I have the 2LT version with four captains chairs and really enjoy the convienence of not having to move a middle row seat to allow one of them to get into the "way back". Having three kids jammed together in a middle seat for an 8 hour drive is courting disaster--that's why I needed that third seat. Everyone has plenty of space. Normally I find any drive over 4 hours a bit uncomfortable but the seat and driver's position was very relaxing and comfortable. This particular vehicle has the most room for storage behind the third seat than any in its class. It is only beat by minivans and they just aren't my kind of vehicle. see full Chevrolet Traverse review

2007	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	No thigh or lumbar support, seats hrad, minimal leg room for front passenger see full Subaru Forester review
2007	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Not acceptable for an adult in any of the three rear seating positions see full Subaru Forester review
2006	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Again, cramped and too small for larger people. see full Subaru Forester review
2006	4dr SUV turbocharged 230hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	This is honesty the only complaint i have about the 2006 XT. The rear seat is a bit tight. We took three other adults on about a 4 hour trip and it was a tight fit - good thing we're good friends! My wife's 2009 Forester is much better in the rear legroom department. see full Subaru Forester review
