Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Front seats felt snug and the center console intruded on the driver side knee room. see full Mazda CX-9 review

2006 Toyota 4Runner Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Lots of room in the backs seat, and actually decent 3rd row seating for the kids. Kills the cargo area though. see full Toyota 4Runner review

2006 Toyota 4Runner Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	This is a vehicle designed for people 5 fett 11 inches and under - no two ways about it. If you are 5 feel 11 or over you will not enjoy this truck. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	The consequence of reducing overall height while maintaining trail worthy obstacle clearance is a relatively low to floor seating position more attune to sedans. Seats are comfortable though even for a big framed person. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Seat position low to floor leaves you sitting with a knee high position. Seats itself are comfortable, but there is no space for your feet under the front seats. All floor surfaces are almost flat though considering it truck roots. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Not a power seat. Cannot get it into an optimum adjustment. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	No third row, cargo space small see full Toyota 4Runner review
2006	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	After a trip to TX from CO my back was hurting. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2006	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	the front seat is too close to the floor. see full Toyota 4Runner review
