TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Honda Odyssey

2015 Honda Odyssey Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	I test a large crossover and think, "This third-row seat isn't bad." Then I drive a minivan and marvel at home much roomier it is inside than even the roomiest crossovers. This advantage increases the farther back in the vehicle you sit. Back in the third row, it's simply no contest. Among minivans, the Odyssey is the roomiest of the bunch. It's the only minivan with over 40 inches of legroom in each of its three rows. Total up the differences in the official specs, and the Toyota Sienna comes up nearly ten inches short (though the difference doesn't seem nearly so large in reality, maybe an inch or two). A Chrysler Town & Country? Over fourteen inches. A Toyota Highlander crossover has legroom specs similar to the Chrysler minivan, but its third row feels much more cramped. Moral of the story: don't trust the specs, sit in the cars yourself. In cabin breadth, the official specs have the Odyssey about equal to the Town & Country and a little narrower than the Sienna, but subjectively both the Honda and the Toyota feel broader and more open than the Chrysler. Then there's access to the rear rows. The feature most associated with minivans, their sliding side doors, are easier to open in tight parking spaces and provide a much larger opening. In terms of seat comfort, the Odyssey falls a little short of the Sienna, if only because it doesn't offer lounge chair-like legrests in the second row. Then again, for anyone over five feet tall to use these in the Toyota the second row seat must be slid back so far as to render the third row unusable. Either minivan has more comfortable second-row seats than most crossovers, including the Highlander, and third-row comfort is simply no contest. The Chrysler's second row seats aren't as comfortable, as they are more thinly constructed to enable them to fold beneath the floor. The Odyssey, Sienna, and Highlander can each be equipped to carry eight passengers (though the lounge seats in the Sienna eliminate one spot, and the three in the third row of the Highlander best have short legs). The Chrysler minivans can only seat seven. see full Honda Odyssey review

2006 Scion xB Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Full sized adults fit well in the rear seat. 2 of them. see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	This car is like an optical illusion - it's SOOO much bigger on the inside than it seems like from the outside! Riding in it feels more like riding in a minivan than a car. My husband is over 6' tall, and he can sit comfortably in the driver's seat with plenty of room above his head. At the same time, my son (also over 6' tall) can sit comfortably behind him with plenty of room for his knees. When my kids were younger, we fit three of them in the back, and often went on long trips (5-6 hrs in the car) with no problems. Our luggage even fit in the back! see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	It is so comfortable for tall people, with plenty of legroon. see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	More rear legroom than a BMW 7 series !!! Tall people are more than comfortable in the back seat see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Gigantic rear seats. 6+ foot tall passengers can seat in the back without their knees touching the front seatbacks. Cargo capacity is also most impressive for such compact exterior dimensions. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The seats are very comfortable for a vehicle as inexpensive as this. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	There is tons of room in this car! It almost seems bigger on the inside than the car is on the outside. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I have 3 kids, ages 15, 13, and 7, and they have all kinds of leg room in the back seat of this car. It's almost as much as a minivan. All 3 can ride comfortably in the back for up to an hour or so. Another 2 inches or so of width would make it ideal, even for longer trips. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	There is enough room in the rear seat for two large men to sit comfortably or, in my case, two car seats for my children. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	you feel like you are driving a larger vehicle when looking out from the drivers seat see full Scion xB review
