What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Honda Odyssey

2012 Honda Odyssey Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	The Odyssey has the best seat setup of any minivan on the market, by a large margin. Standard 8th seat, which is usable, easy to flip the 3rd row, adjustable 2nd row without floor rails to collect debris from kiddos. see full Honda Odyssey review
2011	4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 6-speed automatic FWD	Nice and roomy 2nd row, we really like the Wide mode seating. Very nice 3rd row usable by adults. see full Honda Odyssey review

2012 Honda Odyssey Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	The seats are still more thinly padded than the competition - and the third row seat angle is merely adequate. My mother in law noted that our Ody 3rd row is really like a standard seat - not "3rd class" - but the Pacifica made her feel like she was "stuck in the back". see full Honda Odyssey review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander

2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	There's a reason three-row crossovers tend to be much larger than this pair. The third-row seat in the Kia Sorento doesn't provide enough headroom for the average adult male. Both comfort and knee room are also in short supply. You might think that a seat couldn't get any tighter than the Sorento's third row. But, based on the official specs, the Outlander has nearly four inches less combined legroom--a huge difference. Even children won't fit in the Mitsubishi's third row unless you slide the second row forward much of the way. The 2014's third row seat is at least a conventional seat. Last year it was little more than a sling. In either vehicle the second row split bench is roomy and comfortable, with enough height off the floor to provide adults with good thigh support. But the rear passengers in the Outlander don't get air vents. Those in the Kia do. see full Mitsubishi Outlander review
