2015 Jeep Patriot Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||

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 |

Drivers side left foot rests on pad which is slightly to the right due to the wheel. Takes a while to become acustomed to it. see full Ford Freestyle review |
