2012 Dodge Grand Caravan Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |

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 |

Nice car, but front seats could be better. Close to a deal breaker. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

The standard power seat offers unlimited seating positions. see full GMC Yukon review |

The seats are big, have a good amount of padding, and still provide some side lubar support to help keep you in the seat during hard cornering. see full GMC Yukon review |

Plenty of room for driver to stretch legs. Makes long trips easier see full GMC Yukon review |

Captains chairs might be more comfortable than front seats. 3rd row is essentially useless. Remove the seats for extra storage space see full GMC Yukon review |
