What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 GMC Acadia

2012 GMC Acadia Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	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
2011	4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	we travel with adults not children and find the 2nd row very comfortable. 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
