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

4-speed automatic RWD
Still small, despite the increased size of the vehicle. see full Jeep Wrangler review
