2018 Subaru Forester Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||

- Terrible front seat support - The cushions are too short - It's not noticeable on a test drive right away. I would not have bought the car! Test drive extensively! - Surfaces where your elbows would lay are too hard - I purchased foam pads to make it feel better. - Tall drivers like myself will struggle with the telescoping wheel's short extension range. - It is hard to get into a fully comfortable driving position. The memory seats in the XT help somewhat by retaining your seat settings if moved. - Front seat cushions are too short - Yes I said this twice - Front seat cushions are too short - Yes I said this THREE times! Subaru are you listening? The front seat cushions are WAY TOO SHORT! see full Subaru Forester review |
2015 Toyota 4Runner Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | Both the Toyota and Jeep have roomy second-row seats that are high enough off the floor to provide thigh support for adults. Only the Toyota offers an optional third row seat, but it's too tight to be of much use. If you want a useful third row in this sort of vehicle, check out the Dodge Durango. The Durango is essentially an extended, less off-road-capable Grand Cherokee. Its third-row seat is about as comfortable as you'll find in this size SUV or crossover. see full Toyota 4Runner review |
