2008 Honda Odyssey Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	0	Why can't manufacturers make the passenger seat as comfortable with as many adjustments as the driver's side? see full Honda Odyssey review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	No back support, no thigh support. Seat headrests curve your spine forward. Seat shape was not the same for all four captain chairs. Quality control must be very poor. see full Honda Odyssey 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.

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
