TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica

2018 Chrysler Pacifica Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Chrysler has revised its "Stow 'n Go" seats a few times to improve their comfort, and the latest ones are better. But they still feel smaller, firmer, and less comfortable than the conventional captain's chairs in competitors. This noted, unless you'll regularly carry adults in back, and they're picky about seat comfort, the Pacifica's seats should be good enough. A removable center seat for the second row has been added to the options list. With this seat the Pacifica can, like the Sienna and Odyssey, carry eight people in a pinch. But the same seat in the Sienna is much more comfortable. The Pacifica's third row is more competitive in terms of comfort. Roominess in both cases is better than in the Kia Sedona, perhaps about even with the Toyota Sienna, and less than in the Honda Odyssey, which is the roomiest of the bunch. If you're used to a crossover any of these minivans will seem very roomy. The third-row seats in most crossovers aren't in the same league. see full Chrysler Pacifica review

2018 Chrysler Pacifica Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2017	4dr Minivan, ext. 287-horsepower 3.6L V6 9-speed automatic FWD	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 Chrysler Pacifica review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Honda Civic

2008 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	unbelievable much room on the rear seats see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Good lumbar and side support, nicely adjustable seat and wheel. Shifter is very close to the wheel. Fits me like a glove, but my wife does find the seatback slightly tall. see full Honda Civic review
2007	2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	very comfortable to drive see full Honda Civic review
2007	2dr Coupe 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	great support. the sides basically hold you - which is important because the car can generate serious g-forces going around corners see full Honda Civic review
2007	4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Frankly, the best seats I have sat in outside of a couple BMW Ms. Supportive, well bolstered with good lateral support. Also good support for the lower back for long drives. see full Honda Civic review

2008 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Driver seat is uncomfortable. Not upright enough. Not a great seat for correct posture. see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	No access from trunk area. Also, very strong chemical smell in vehicle...off gassing from fabrics. The prius did not have near the smell. see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Seats were rock hard(in summer) see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	very poor AC performance during hot weather see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	not able to fit a rear facing child seat, or very difficult to fit it. we had to even find a small size one. see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	It took me a long time to find a comfortable driving position in this car. It may because of the low seat. I was finally (mostly) successful, but it took a long time to find it, and it is very different than my typical driving position. Also, not great on long trips -- the seat is generally supportive, but it starts to break down a few hours in. see full Honda Civic review
2007	4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	Rear seat does not fold down see full Honda Civic review
2007	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	merely adequate although better than in the past see full Honda Civic review
2007	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	merely adequate, seats could have more support see full Honda Civic review
2007	4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Seat needs an adjustable lumber support. see full Honda Civic review
