| 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 |

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 |

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Volkswagen Passat
| 2013 Volkswagen Passat Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2012 | Volkswagen's research must have found that Americans highly value rear legroom, because the Passat has an abundance of it. Unless you're an NBA center you'll have plenty of room to stretch out in the back of this sedan. see full Volkswagen Passat review | |
