The third room has enough head room to even fit an adult comfortably and is wide enough to accommodate three individuals. It is one of the few SUV's that offer 8 seat capacity and has a larger interior capacity than a Tahoe. see full GMC Acadia review |

we travel with adults not children and find the 2nd row very comfortable. see full GMC Acadia review |
TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Dodge Journey
| 2014 Dodge Journey Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | Overly firm, insufficiently contoured front seats seem to be popping up everywhere lately, even in the formerly fluffy Toyota Avalon. (Blame the influence of the Germans.) The Dodge Journey’s front buckets provide a refreshing alternative, with a rare combination of cushiness and support. The armrests and door pulls are also well-padded. The driver-side lumbar powers up and down as well as in and out. The headrests even adjust fore-aft, a rarity among sub-luxury cars these days. If only the driver seat also included power recline... see full Dodge Journey review | |

| 2014 | As mentioned earlier, Chrysler really dropped the ball when it packaged the Journey. The second-row seat is a comfortable height off the floor, yet headroom is plentiful even by crossover standards. But that’s the beginning and end of the back seat’s virtues. The optional third-row seat is kids-only (unless the adults in question aren’t much larger than kids). Though less than an inch longer, and riding on a wheelbase that’s 3.6 inches shorter, the new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe has eight more inches of legroom in each of the rear rows—a huge difference. Adults can fit in the Journey’s second row if it’s slide back at least half way along its travel, but they can’t stretch out like they can in the Santa Fe. Or in many compact crossovers, for that matter. Poor packaging also makes for a fairly high load floor and (as mentioned above) less cargo volume than in other similarly-dimensioned crossovers. see full Dodge Journey review | |

| 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 | 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 |

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 |

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 |
