| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Very good support. Just the right height. Tilt steering column adds to comfort. Armrest also provides added comfort. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |
| 2007 | 4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
The 2nd and 3rd row seats are acceptable for even long trips. This is not the Stow-&-Go version where the seats seem to be thinner, less comfortable. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |

Really like the roominess of the center and rear seats as compared to other vehicles. Also really like the flexibilty and use of use of the Stow-And-Go seating. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |
| 2005 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
The seat and driving positions are very comfortable. I have driven the T&C more than 500 miles in one day and the same drive the following day. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Lots of head room for tall folks. Comfortable seats. Lots of knee room. see full GMC Acadia review |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Power seats have versatile adjustments. Thigh support is better than some compact SUVs that I compared. Tilt and telescoping steering wheel is flexible for driving position. see full GMC Acadia review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Since this is our family hauler, it needed to accommodate 5 people, with enough space between 3 kids to keep long trips bearable. Adults can sit comfortably in the third row. see full GMC Acadia review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
3rd row is big enough for adults, leg room & head room, comfortable bench seat; 2nd row captains chairs were an option that I chose; easy to get around 2nd row and into 3rd row. I believe the Acadia was 11" longer than the Toyota Highlander. see full GMC Acadia review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Captain chairs makes it easier to bring the dog on long trips. see full GMC Acadia review |

Third row seating actually is practical. see full GMC Acadia review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
There are very few SUVs that can seat 7 VERY comfortably that are not HUGE suburban type SUVs. We are very pleased that the 3rd row can truly seat 3 adults with no issues. I love that I can still load it up at Costco by folding the 3rd seat down! see full GMC Acadia review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Love how comfy it is-- heated seats, (though I would have loved the 2009 A/C seats on my 2008-- boo hoo!), all the controls-- love the music controls on the steering wheel. see full GMC Acadia review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Plenty of legroom, seat has many adjustment. see full GMC Acadia review |

Have taken this car on long trips, 14 hours of driving, multiple days in a row. The front seats are ok but not very comfortable. It's even tiring for the passenger. see full GMC Acadia review |
