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 |
2006 Subaru Baja Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2005 | 4dr SUT turbocharged 210hp 2.5L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
6 footers are going to have issues getting in and out. Also they will have to recline the seat too much just to keep their heads from hitting the roof. see full Subaru Baja review |
