2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	The captains chairs in the second row can be apart or together. It is easy to get to the third row seat.

2005	4dr Minivan, ext. 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	Split 3rd row is great (3 kids) - access is great. 2nd row bucket seats are easy to access and very comfortable. see full Honda Odyssey review

2006 Honda Odyssey Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2006	4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Worst driver seat ever--both bottom and back are poorly shaped. Cannot drive more than a few minutes without pain--so have modified with air cushion and pillows, but only partially mitigates. see full Honda Odyssey review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2010 Subaru Outback

2010 Subaru Outback Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	Impressed with the seat comfort/adjustability/durability. 12+hours in the chair is no problem. see full Subaru Outback review
2011	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	Wide space with lots of shoulder, hip, leg and head room. Seats are comfy too without being decadent. see full Subaru Outback review
2010	4dr Wagon 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The driver's seat with its 10 way adjustments was rival to Volvo's orthopedic chair. The passenger seat, however was akin to something out of a Yaris & this was the main reason we did not buy this car. see full Subaru Outback review
2010	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	This is a big one for me since I'm 6'6". The seat is very comfortable, even with my long legs. With it all the way back, I can fit in the rear seat as well. Also, heated seats are a wonderful thing. see full Subaru Outback review
2010	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD	It seems to have as much room as my Chevy Suburban. see full Subaru Outback review
2010	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD	More then enough room for my children and their car seats. Much more room compared to my VW Passat Wagon I traded in. see full Subaru Outback review

2010 Subaru Outback Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Wagon 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	There are no adjustements for height, lumbar or tilt for the passenger in any of the available trim levels. We would have bought this car new from the dealer otherwise. see full Subaru Outback review
2010	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	One complaint is the hard, short driver's seat. I use a gel cushion. I had after market leather installed. see full Subaru Outback review
