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 |
TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Volkswagen Passat

| Year | Comment | |
| 2012 | Volkswagen's research must have found that Americans highly value rear legroom, because the Passat has an abundance of it. Unless you're an NBA center you'll have plenty of room to stretch out in the back of this sedan. see full Volkswagen Passat review | |
