What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Jeep Wrangler

2011 Jeep Wrangler Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 2dr SUV 285-horsepower 3.6L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Even tho there are rear seats, I would never ride in back, too small back there. see full Jeep Wrangler review
2011 4dr SUV 202-horsepower 3.8L V6
4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 It has the ability to go back and forth but not tilt the base seat. Firm but not being able to adjust the angle (like electric 10 way) makes a difference for tall and full frame people. I will be looking to adjust angle asap. see full Jeep Wrangler review
