What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Ford Explorer

2006 Ford Explorer Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
2005 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
Lots of room. Great even in the 3rd rear bench see full Ford Explorer review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Subaru BRZ

2017 Subaru BRZ Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

The seat heaters are an absolute joke. We thought they were broken. No, they're just terrible. If you live in regular -10c weather you will want a a plug-in seat warmer.
The seats themselves are fantastic for driving.
Driver's seat does not slide forward when you move the seatback to access the back seat. Seems fine, who wants to reset their seat position every time.
The passenger seat does get loose when you pop the seat back up, but the chair slides around loose and left to gravity, will sit at the rearmost spot. Might be nice if it could sit in a divot at the full frontmost position.
