What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Ford Expedition

2013 Ford Expedition Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	0	The driven Limited trim had black heated and cooled front seats. The cooling was necessary in the summertime Texas heat and perfomed well - I turned them on every time I got in the car (unlike the Lexus system, that you can leave on as it is a dial, you have to activate the cooling every single time you restart the car). These thrones were comfortable for a 4 hour drive - there was more room for someone who has more girth than I. Also, adjustable pedals are a great Ford innovation that I wish more manufacturers would include. My wife (who is 11 inches shorter than me) could easily drive this beast comfortably, without sitting too close to the steering wheel. see full Ford Expedition review
2014	0	Both the second and third rows have ample room, with and without kid's car seats, for three across. The third row isn't an afterthought like in other SUVs and even 5'11" adults are happy back there. Additionally, the vents provide adequate AC in 100+ degree heat. There are plenty of easily accessible LATCH anchors if you wish (although seatbelts are generally just as easy and have a higher weight rating with car seats than the LATCH anchors). Most minivans (except the Odyssey) do not have LATCH in the center of the second row - only on the outboard - and only have LATCH in the center of the third row. The Expedition (and Odyssey) is nice because they are flexible where you can put car seats comfortably. see full Ford Expedition review

2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Looking for familly smallish SUV and our other option was a RAV-4, the CR-V felt like it had better hip and leg room in the rear. see full Honda CR-V review
2007	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	The leather front drivers seat and passenger is very comfortable,much more so then my 2002 Honda accord se. The leather is cold in the winter but the heated seats help a lot. see full Honda CR-V review
2007	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Rear seats are quite comfortable for passengers and have plenty of legroom. Entry/exit is easy. No hesitation to drive friends to a show / dinner theater /etc. where they have to stay in back an hour or more. see full Honda CR-V review

2008 Honda CR-V Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	In typical Japanese Small Car fashion, the front seats have very little thigh support for a 5ft 10inch person. The back support and position can be quite painful over 500 or more miles. This marred the ownership experience see full Honda CR-V review
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Roomy enough, but materials feel cheap. Bench is very thin and hard on long trip. Good leg room, but overall not as nicely done as the VW Tiguan. see full Honda CR-V review
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	Seats need another couple of inches of depth to provide anyone over six feet tall with proper thigh support. A little on the firm side after a couple of hours. Could also be improved with better lateral support. Not a deal breaker unless you expect a Volvo type lounger. see full Honda CR-V review
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Headrest could not be adjusted comfortably. see full Honda CR-V review
2007	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	No room for other passengers with a baby seat in the middle. see full Honda CR-V review
2007	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	Extremely cramped for me - just hated the interior and could not get past the legroom see full Honda CR-V review
