2006 Dodge Durango Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD	With the power adjustable front seat, both myself (at just over 6 feet tall) and my wife (5 foot 5) can find plenty of leg room. The additional seat width is appreciated for me (over our past viechle) as I have long arms & need more elbow room than most. see full Dodge Durango review
2007	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD	With a growing family, we needed 3 rows of seats that can actually haul people of normal size. It seems the 3rd row of some SUVs are made for 10 year olds. This viechle fits 8 people in a pinch, 7 comfortably. see full Dodge Durango review
2006	4dr SUV 230-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range	I am small, but regardless, there is plenty of room for comfort. The front cabin is so roomy I tend to lose things in it! see full Dodge Durango review

2009 Mazda CX-7 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV turbocharged 244hp 2.3L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	seats in rear are tight, they do not slide or recline where as Honda CRV rear seats are much more flexible for kids and families. My crv is 2007 and the rear seats recline and the entire bench can slide front and back to create instant leg room see full Mazda CX-7 review
