What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Jeep Patriot

2016 Jeep Patriot Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Nissan LEAF

2012 Nissan LEAF Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric
1-speed automatic FWD
The front and rear seats are very comfortable. The back can be cramped with three passengers. The SL has heated front and rear seats which works great and are needed as the car heater is very slow to initially get warm. The heated steering wheel is also a nice touch. The seat fabric is soft but the light color might not wear well. see full Nissan LEAF review
