YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV 202-horsepower 3.8L V6
6-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range
It is big enough that I can take three passengers in relative comfort, considering the type of vehicle that it is. see full Jeep Wrangler review

Not really comfortable for a long trip for an adult.... great for the dogs see full Jeep Wrangler review

The seats are not as comfortable as my trucks seats were. They are pretty basic but so is all of the interior of the Wrangler. It is made to get dirty, not look good or be comfortable. see full Jeep Wrangler review
2007 4dr SUV 202-horsepower 3.8L V6
4-speed automatic RWD
Still small, despite the increased size of the vehicle. see full Jeep Wrangler review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Chevrolet Traverse

2013 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2014 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The second row captain's chairs are roomy and comfortable. The third row bench seat has a surprising amount of space, in particular with the 2nd row seats slid forward some. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
2013 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2014 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The seats we have on our LT are fine but the headrest on both cars I've had jut out too far and cannot be adjusted back far enough to be comfortable. This is particularly uncomfortable on longer trips. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
2012 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Although the rear captain seats are quite comfortable, I do not like how they roll forward. There is a track in the floor in which the rear seats fold and slide up behind the front seats. All I notice when in the back seat is how extremely difficult it is to clean out the mud and grit and salt (I live in Canada, we use salt on our roads) that gets left behind in the track from passenger footwear. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
