What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2003 Ford Explorer

2003 Ford Explorer Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta

2011 Volkswagen Jetta Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed automated manual FWD
This vehicle was intended to be the "Mommy Mobile". My wife also likes to drive most of the time in "Her Car". I am 6 ft 205 lb; with my 22 month old daughter in a forward facing car seat, I feel I have to pull my seat some what forward to allow her room. This makes my knees kinda touch the glove box. It really only is a problem if shes is fussy, and does not want anything near her. (Instead of hearing her fuss I move it....sometimes.) see full Volkswagen Jetta review
2011 Volkswagen Jetta Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Sedan 115-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
While the Jetta is extremely roomy and comfortable, the center console is slightly too close and can interfere with the driver's right knee and calf. see full Volkswagen Jetta review
2010 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
The rear seat is a little small but compared to other compact cars it is not bad, Still cramped if your over 6 feet. see full Volkswagen Jetta review
