2014 Dodge Grand Caravan Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||

I dislike the current emphasis on hard seats (and this applies to most other brands as well- Toyotas and Hondas are the worst). Enthusiast magazines can rave all they want about great support, etc, but the softer seats in friend's '92 Caravan are more comfortable than these in my 2013. I have an SXT model, which is sort of mid level in Grand Caravans, and it does have a power seat. However, that is an OPTION, and it should be standard above the SE model. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |
2015 Dodge Journey Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2015 | 0 | I love the driver's seat -- it's supportive, comfortable and cushy. I like the power lumbar feature on the SXT that lets you position it up/down and larger/smaller. Not so big on the manual recline with the power seat -- adjustments to the seat bottom don't move the seatback. see full Dodge Journey review |
2015 Dodge Journey Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2015 | 0 | This is NOT a vehicle for a family of six. There were nonstop complaints about legroom from all my kids -- the 8-year-old twins in the wayback, the teenagers in the middle row. I couldn't be comfortable in the driver's seat, so that my son could have enough room to actually sit straight in the middle row, while giving his little sister enough room for her feet in the back row. It's a "make-do" or "in a pinch" 6-passenger car. Across town with 6 people is okay, across the state would incite a riot and mutiny. see full Dodge Journey review |

I normally take customers to lunch and is not easy to accommodate 4 mid-size adults in the Journey, not mention 5. This Journey comes equipped with a third row that is supposed to accommodate 2 more persons, but the space is extremely small and I would not recommend having someone sitting there for a long trip. see full Dodge Journey review |

When I received my Journey the driver seat was comfortable but as I started traveling extensible the seat become more and more uncomfortable. I thought it was just me but other coworkers driving Journey report the same issue while the ones driving the Chevy Equinox and Ford Fusion state that the seats in their vehicles remain comfortable. Up to now, I can?t drive more than 2 hours without stopping somewhere to stretch my back. see full Dodge Journey review |
