What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Suzuki XL7

2008 Suzuki XL7 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2007 4dr SUV 252-horsepower 3.6L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
I like being able to seat 7 people, which we have done several times. To be fair the 3rd row seats are best for children or small adults but the way the second row can be folded makes access easier. The front & second row seats have lots of legroom. see full Suzuki XL7 review

The seats are fully adjustable which I appreciate a lot on a long drive. I tend to stiffen up in a less adjustable seat but the XL7 allows me to readjust enough to really help. Plenty of headroom and comfort. see full Suzuki XL7 review

4-speed shiftable automatic AWD
I was amazed at how small the back seat is in this car. Really no bigger than a compact sedan, eg Civic or Corolla. I can't fit my 3 kids (in car seats) back there, and feel bad when co-workers pile in to go to lunch. Surprisingly small for a vehicle this size, and marketed as a "family car." If you plan to put adults or 3 kids back there regularly, look at the '10 or newer (or at something else -- the rear seat in my co-worker's Accord is far bigger and more comfortable). see full Subaru Outback review

Leg and head room lacking for over 6 footers. see full Subaru Outback review
