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 |
2014 Dodge Dart Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Dart's generous size pays few dividends in its back seat, where legroom, though a bit more abundant than in the Focus, is in shorter supply than inside some other smaller, lighter competitors. The average adult will fit behind the average adult with a little room to spare. The seat itself isn't quite as comfortable as the higher, larger, better-shaped cushion in the Focus. see full Dodge Dart review |

Seats are comfortable for long periods even in the base Aero. Various models have different headrest designs, some better and worse. Nice ergonomics, generally. see full Dodge Dart review |

There is plenty enough room for me. My 6'5" friend is comfortable sitting in my Dart and says there is more leg and head room than his Corvette. I'd say this is a big plus for perspective buyers. see full Dodge Dart review |
