What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Mercury Mariner

2008 Mercury Mariner Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Kia Sportage

2015 Kia Sportage Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr SUV	Seats are just not comfortable for any trips lasting more than an hour. I'm 6'1 and my wife is 5'6" and we both found the seats to be uncomfortable on long trips see full Kia Sportage review
