2003 Ford Explorer Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2004 | 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
I needed the 3rd-row seating to keep 3 boys happy in the back seats - this was one of the main motivations for buying this SUV - and because I was so happy with my 97 Explorer. see full Ford Explorer review |
2003 | 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Other than a minivan, the explorer had much more room in the third row than other vehicles of comparable size. see full Ford Explorer review |
2014 Toyota Avalon Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
Compounding the Avalon's lack of suspension compliance, its seats are also firm, yet lacking in lateral support. You very much sit on them rather than in them. On a long drive my rear end reported impinged circulation. The front passenger is even worse off, as the tilt of that seat can be adjusted only in the Limited. Rear seat passengers also complained about overly firm, insufficiently contoured cushions. see full Toyota Avalon review |
