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

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

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata

The first con is the obvious one, and a deal killer for many people. While the FR-S has a barely usable rear seat, the MX-5 Miata has none at all. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review
