What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 GMC Acadia

2008 GMC Acadia Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Lots of head room for tall folks. Comfortable seats. Lots of knee room. see full GMC Acadia review
2009	4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Power seats have versatile adjustments. Thigh support is better than some compact SUVs that I compared. Tilt and telescoping steering wheel is flexible for driving position. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Since this is our family hauler, it needed to accommodate 5 people, with enough space between 3 kids to keep long trips bearable. Adults can sit comfortably in the third row. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	3rd row is big enough for adults, leg room & head room, comfortable bench seat; 2nd row captains chairs were an option that I chose; easy to get around 2nd row and into 3rd row. I believe the Acadia was 11" longer than the Toyota Highlander. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Captain chairs makes it easier to bring the dog on long trips. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Third row seating actually is practical. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	There are very few SUVs that can seat 7 VERY comfortably that are not HUGE suburban type SUVs. We are very pleased that the 3rd row can truly seat 3 adults with no issues. I love that I can still load it up at Costco by folding the 3rd seat down! see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Love how comfy it is-- heated seats, (though I would have loved the 2009 A/C seats on my 2008-- boo hoo!), all the controls-- love the music controls on the steering wheel. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Plenty of legroom, seat has many adjustment. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Best 3rd row leg room in its class. Smart slide seats provide easy access to 3rd row see full GMC Acadia review

2008 GMC Acadia Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Have taken this car on long trips, 14 hours of driving, multiple days in a row. The front seats are ok but not very comfortable. It's even tiring for the passenger. see full GMC Acadia review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Chevrolet Volt

2013 Chevrolet Volt Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD	Really comfortable heated bucket seats. see full Chevrolet Volt review
2012	4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD	The front seats offer very good support and the seat bottoms are designed for tall drivers.. see full Chevrolet Volt review

2013 Chevrolet Volt Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD	Rear seat is adequate, but it is difficult to install or remove a child seat. The cushion is too firm to make this easy. see full Chevrolet Volt review
2014	4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD	The car is only a four seter so there is no room if you have five people and with the front seats back all the way it is a little tight. see full Chevrolet Volt review
2013	4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD	The rear seats have limited leg room. A forward facing child car seat (Safety 1st Air Protect) is fine but to install it rear facing would make the passenger seat almost unusable and being a 4 seat there is no option to install in the middle of the rear which i find allows in many cars a good way to keep everyone safe & comfortable. see full Chevrolet Volt review
2012	4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD	Front seats are semi-hard and covered in strange material. I could see people larger than myself having issues with them. see full Chevrolet Volt review
2012	4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD	No power seat in a $46k car?? Get real, Chevy. Once you get used to them, though, both front and rear seats are comfortable for up to an hour or so. Longer than that and I need different lower back support that it doesn't have. But they are heated which is nice and it's comfortable leather. A few tweaks and/or an optional chair & this would be a non-issue. see full Chevrolet Volt review
