2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range	small, tight see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review
2007	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range	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

2012 Volkswagen Touareg Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV turbocharged 225hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD	More than usual leg room in the rear, even with the front seat all the way back. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
