What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Jeep Patriot

2014 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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Volkswagen Passat

2008 Volkswagen Passat Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Passat provided more interior space especially in the rear than the Audi A4 see full Volkswagen Passat review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Extremely comfortable front drivers seat w/ 12 way electronic adjustment. Able to find perfect driving position. Very little fatigue even after 12 - 14 hours of driving (taking breaks for food / gas of course). Lumbar adjusts both up/down and in/out. see full Volkswagen Passat review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Lots of rear legroom and space for car seats. see full Volkswagen Passat review
2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Compared to other sporty wagons (BMW, Subaru) the Passat has about 3" more rear leg room - enough to put my full-size parents and/or friends in the back seat without making them do contortions. Easier to get a child in and out of a rear safety seat, too. see full Volkswagen Passat review
2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	This version of the Passat can easily fit 3 across seating in the rear see full Volkswagen Passat review
2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	More than large enough for American size bodies! see full Volkswagen Passat review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Well bolstered seat, best seat heaters I ever had (have had Land Rovers and own a SAAB). see full Volkswagen Passat review
2007	4dr Wagon 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	larger than chief competitors (BMW 3 series, Audi A4) see full Volkswagen Passat review
