2006 Mercury Mariner Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

2007 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD |
The seats have plush cushioning, lumbar control and position control. The seats are leather/vinyl (I think leather, but not sure) with center punched suede allowing some air circulation. All good for greater comfort on long trips see full Mercury Mariner review |

Rear seat room is limited, seats firm, but little side support see full Mercury Mariner review |

For long drives even with leather it can get uncomfortable. A little more support and padding would be good in the seat. see full Mercury Mariner 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 |

There is not much rear leg room and the seat has you sitting straight up instead of slight recline. see full Jeep Wrangler review |
