2015 Honda CR-V Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2015	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.4L I4 CVT AWD	The front seat seems a bit thin and does require adjustment for comfort after awhile. see full Honda CR-V review

2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I am a tall guy with big feet, so my vehicle choices are greatly restricted. The Jetta Sportwagen (Golf Wagon here in Canada) is very comfortable on long drives. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
