The front seats in the other mini-vans ftom Kia, Honda, and Toyota felt constricting and my spouse loves the ample hip room the Pacifica front seats provide. see full Chrysler Pacifica review |

The 2nd row seats are firm and provide enough legroom for persons <6ft but="" do="" not="" slide="" fwd="" backwd="" 3rd="" row="" seating="" is="" comfortable="" for="" short="" durations="" persons="">6ft but the 2nd row seat backs can be folded flat for more room if not occupied or stored in the floor to provide generous legroom if passengers ride in the 3rd row. see full Chrysler Pacifica review |

Similar to the front seats, super comfortable and soft. A lot of leg room with an average-sized driver + passenger up front. Rear moonroof gives off the feel of a huge ceiling. see full Lexus ES review |

Not very supportive. Felt like a hollowed out barrel. Only support was on the outside edges. see full Lexus ES review |

the seams in a seat should run front to rear vs. left to right this would make the seat more comfortable. the Toyota Camry leather seats are definitely more comparable... I think Lexis wanted a sportier looking seat but sacrificed comfort in doing see full Lexus ES review |

There is simply not enough legroom and three passengers will probably feel very cramped in the back as well. see full Lexus ES review |
