small, tight see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |

That and MPG are the only real faults so far after 15000 miles and 15 mons. I think our 2001 GC has more seat comfort although the 07s seats do fold over easier than the 01s. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |

Seats are comfortable, adjustable, and sit high to give the driver and passenger a good view of the road ahead, and are wide and not narrow like you find in the competition. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |

Being quite a tall guy one of my favourite tests is to set the front seat in my position and then get in the back seat. In the touring I have at least 4" of knee room. Great for long trips. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |
