| 2006 Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
The seats in the front are comfortable. My husband has an SUV and I enjoy riding in my car more then in his car. see full Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan review |
| 2006 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
I can get up to 2 adults and a child or 3 children, or 2 car seats and one child. The kids really like the rear seat and the middle captian chairs they love to recline and watch a movie. see full Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan review |
| 2006 | 4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |

| 2005 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Seating for seven allows us to travel with family members in one vehicle instead of taking two. see full Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan review |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2010 Kia Forte
| 2010 Kia Forte Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Plenty of room, indeed there may be too much room as it is a bit of a reach to unlock the passenger side door, almost impossible to adjust the passenger door mirror and lower the passenger window? Forget it. Plenty of elbow room. see full Kia Forte review |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
My Jazz Bass, in its case, fits on the floor between the front and rear seats. Just like the front seats, there is plenty of room for two and adequate room for three. see full Kia Forte review |
| 2010 Kia Forte Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I feel the seat is to far away from the wheel and the pedals are angled to steeply. The dead pedal is perfect though. see full Kia Forte review |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
too small and too tight. see full Kia Forte review |
