2007 Ford Explorer Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
the front seat has plenty of leg room and seats hug you see full Ford Explorer review
2006 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8
6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
Have driven from Maryland to Florida and back a couple of times, as well as 3-4 hours trips routinely. Seats are comfortable with no backache and don't have to stop every couple of hours due to fatigue. Could drive and be comfortable all day long. see full Ford Explorer review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze

2012 Chevrolet Cruze Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed manual FWD
Rear seat legroom is a bit tight with the front seats fully back. see full Chevrolet Cruze review
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Unfortunately there is no leg room in the rear of the car when the front seats are a particular distant from the dashboard. So either all the people when riding in this car need to be small people like no more then 5 foot?! or you can only have two 6 foot people in it at a time. needs serious improvements there! see full Chevrolet Cruze review
