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 2015 Dodge Journey

2015 Dodge Journey Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2015	0	I love the driver's seat -- it's supportive, comfortable and cushy. I like the power lumbar feature on the SXT that lets you position it up/down and larger/smaller. Not so big on the manual recline with the power seat -- adjustments to the seat bottom don't move the seatback. see full Dodge Journey review

2015 Dodge Journey Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2015	0	This is NOT a vehicle for a family of six. There were nonstop complaints about legroom from all my kids -- the 8-year-old twins in the wayback, the teenagers in the middle row. I couldn't be comfortable in the driver's seat, so that my son could have enough room to actually sit straight in the middle row, while giving his little sister enough room for her feet in the back row. It's a "make-do" or "in a pinch" 6-passenger car. Across town with 6 people is okay, across the state would incite a riot and mutiny. see full Dodge Journey review
2014	4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I normally take customers to lunch and is not easy to accommodate 4 mid-size adults in the Journey, not mention 5. This Journey comes equipped with a third row that is supposed to accommodate 2 more persons, but the space is extremely small and I would not recommend having someone sitting there for a long trip. see full Dodge Journey review
2014	4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	When I received my Journey the driver seat was comfortable but as I started traveling extensible the seat become more and more uncomfortable. I thought it was just me but other coworkers driving Journey report the same issue while the ones driving the Chevy Equinox and Ford Fusion state that the seats in their vehicles remain comfortable. Up to now, I can?t drive more than 2 hours without stopping somewhere to stretch my back. see full Dodge Journey review
