TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander

2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	There's a reason three-row crossovers tend to be much larger than this pair. The third-row seat in the Kia Sorento doesn't provide enough headroom for the average adult male. Both comfort and knee room are also in short supply. You might think that a seat couldn't get any tighter than the Sorento's third row. But, based on the official specs, the Outlander has nearly four inches less combined legroom--a huge difference. Even children won't fit in the Mitsubishi's third row unless you slide the second row forward much of the way. The 2014's third row seat is at least a conventional seat. Last year it was little more than a sling. In either vehicle the second row split bench is roomy and comfortable, with enough height off the floor to provide adults with good thigh support. But the rear passengers in the Outlander don't get air vents. Those in the Kia do. see full Mitsubishi Outlander review

2007 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Plenty of space, good lumbar support, nice side bolstering. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review
2008	2dr Hatch 250-horsepower 3.2L V6 6-speed automated manual AWD	With only one car, I needed a sporty car with legitimate rear seat room and an automatic for the other users. I have had 2 6ft passengers in the back seat without complaint. The cushion could use a little more height/angle to aid in leg support. Nitpickin see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review
2008	4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	well bolstered, firm, both driver and passenger seats have height and lumbar adjust see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review

2007	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	Excellent seats and comfort, however occasionally find the seats a bit narrow and the foot well can be tight in some shoes. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review
2007	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	The sport seats in the basic black leatherette are nicely bolstered though not overly enveloping like seats in my FR-S. This means it hits a nice middle ground of comfort but still keeping you from being thrown around in aggressive driving. The manually adjusted seats are easily positioned to a comfortable state after you figure out which of the 4 levers is doing what. The adjustible thigh support is especially nice and not something I often see in this segment. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review
2007	2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	The front seats offer great lateral support. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review

2007 Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It works fine for me, but if you have adults that use the rear seat often they may find it a little uncomfortable for long trips. The legroom is decent, but the seats are a bit hard and not all that ergonomic. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review
2007	2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	Great for my kids (4 and 7) but small for adults. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review
2006	4dr Hatch 115-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Seats could be firmer though adequate. It has no lumbar support and expended use probably will change the shape of the foam used in the seat. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review
