| 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 |
| 2006 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Very comfy for long rides, adjustable. Ditto the middle and rear seats. Supportive but not overly firm. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |

| 2008 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Stow-n-Go rear seats (rear AND middle seats fold flat into floor) are a mixed blessing. GREAT for cargo room flexibility but too small for best comfort for larger adults. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |
| 2007 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
the drivers seat in relation to the steering wheel is off too the left a bit see full Chrysler Town & Country review |

| 2010 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
A lot of rear leg rrom when compared to the Mazda3 and A3 which I also looked at. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |

They are supportive with good leg support. The seat side bolsters hold driver in place. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
Front seats are extremely supportive and even heated with the Interlagos cloth option see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Quite possibly the most comfortable front seats I have ever sat in. It is as if they were pulled straight from an Audi and placed in the GTI. An added bonus is the heated cloth, which is unusual because usually you need to option cold leather for heat. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 5-speed manual FWD |
Plenty of shoulder/elbow/head room. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review |

It works fine for me, but if you have adults that use the rear seat often they may find it a little uncomfortable for long trips. The legroom is decent, but the seats are a bit hard and not all that ergonomic. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review |
