2011 Dodge Durango Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV 290-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	There was very little bolstering on the sides of the seat bottoms. I was not able to find a comfortable seating position in the Durango see full Dodge Durango review

2014 Volkswagen Tiguan Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	Based on the specs, the Tiguan suffers from insufficient dimensions. It's 3.6 inches less lengthy than the Escape, and as a result has an inch less legroom. And the Ford falls near the bottom of the segment in this spec. In the real world, though, the Tiguan's rear seat feels roomier and more comfortable than the Escape's and in the ballpark with the class leaders. A relatively large seat bottom is high enough off the floor to provide adults with thigh support. The rear seat back is more comfortably shaped than the compact crossover norm, and reclines. One nit: hard plastic isn't the most comfortable surface for a rear armrest. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review

2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Outstanding. I'm 6'0 & only have the seat 1/2 way back. Lots of front & rear seat room. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
