2015 Jeep Patriot Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2015 | 4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The front seats are uncomfortable. They are both crooked, leaning to the side, so you need a pillow to isolate your back from the side bolster on one side that digs into your back. The head restraints push your neck forward and are not removable for adjustment. The driver's seat could use a height adjuster ( apparently available as an option on some models ). see full Jeep Patriot review |
2007 Audi Q7 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2008 | 4dr SUV 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The middle seat of all the SUVs we looked at, had the most room to move furthest forward or backward to allow far rear seat passengers most accommodation. see full Audi Q7 review |
2007 | 4dr SUV 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Rear seat legroom is greater than other vehicles I evaluated in this category: Acura MDX, BMW X5, Mercedes ML; seats more plush; more cargo space. see full Audi Q7 review |
2007 | 4dr SUV 350-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Great front seats for long drives. see full Audi Q7 review |
