What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Honda Ridgeline

2008 Honda Ridgeline Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	The rear seat is very spacious and relatively comfortable. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Plenty of comfortable seat with the split bench. Can fit a car seat on the smaller right side and still have room for two adults with reasonable leg room. Both sides of the split bench can be easily flipped up for increased storage or down for seating. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Plenty of room and comfort for 5 passengers. Easy to put seats up or down, depending on hauling needs. Rear seat access is easy via the full-size rear passenger doors. Ventilation is good with the rear-vents between the front seats. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2008	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Rear seats are as comfortable as any vehicle I have been in. see full Honda Ridgeline review

2007	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Cabin width. Big, comfy heated leather seats. The back seats are flatter and less comfortable, but kids like them just fine. The cabin has plenty of room and many storage bins. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2007	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Room to seat three person comfortably in the rear seat. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2007	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	There is no hump in the floor, thus allowing the rear seat to accommodate three adults. The seat is split for folding up for more flexibility. see full Honda Ridgeline review
2007	4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Lots of legroom and comfortable seats, like sitting in an easy chair. see full Honda Ridgeline review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Lincoln MKC

2016 Lincoln MKC Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	Seat comfort can be highly subjective, partly because human bodies come in many different shapes and sizes. This said, the MKC's driver seat fit me like a glove from the moment I first sat down. The seat bottom is cushier than most, including those in the Acura and Audi, while the seatback is very well contoured. You'll find more lateral support in the Acura, but the Lincoln's seats offer as much as owners are likely to need in a compact crossover. The view forward from this seat is better than in the Ford Escape, as the MKC's windshield doesn't seem as steeply raked and doesn't have oddly curved, fishbowl-effect lower corners. Also, the top of the Lincoln's instrument panel better disguises its considerable depth. The instrument panels in the Acura and in German competitors require no such artful disguising, as they aren't nearly as deep. To the rear, the MKC's windows are at least as small as the Escape's, and smaller than the Acura's and the Audi's. Luckily the side mirrors are large and blind spot warning is an option. see full Lincoln MKC review

2016 Lincoln MKC Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Unfortunately, the Lincoln MKC's key weakness is at least as apparent as any of its strengths once one moves beyond the official specs--likely cheated, per Ford's recent practice--and actually sits in its rear seat. The Escape is tighter than most back there, and the MKC is tighter still. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, my knees come within a couple inches of the front seatbacks. Put a tall driver up front, and I wouldn't fit in back. Nearly all competitors have roomier rear seats. You'll find far more shoulder room and rear knee room in the RDX. Perhaps Lincoln should have stretched the MKC's wheelbase a few inches to expand the rear seat. As is, it's about four inches shorter than the RDX, Q5, and Volvo XC60. A roofline an inch lower than the Escape's might improve the exterior's proportions, but it cuts into interior space. see full Lincoln MKC review
