With front seats all the way back, limited legroom. Not a big deal see full Dodge Caliber review |

When front seats are sild back, very little leg room for passengers in back--even kids. see full Dodge Caliber review |

Not enough rear knee room. Hard to enter and exit the back seat. see full Dodge Caliber review |
2018 Toyota RAV4 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
I initially noted that the well-bolstered driver seat felt "ok." But after a few hours in it my rear started to feel sore. To be fair, I haven't had enough seat time in competitors to state that they fit me better. And even if they do, this could just be me. People come in many different shapes and sizes, have different postures, and so forth. Pity seat designers! The upshot: no one else can tell you how comfortable a seat will be for you. Make the test drive as long as you can before buying. see full Toyota RAV4 review |
