Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Lots of room in the backs seat, and actually decent 3rd row seating for the kids. Kills the cargo area though. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2005	4dr SUV 245-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Plenty of room for 3 people. see full Toyota 4Runner review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	This is a vehicle designed for people 5 fett 11 inches and under - no two ways about it. If you are 5 feel 11 or over you will not enjoy this truck. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	The consequence of reducing overall height while maintaining trail worthy obstacle clearance is a relatively low to floor seating position more attune to sedans. Seats are comfortable though even for a big framed person. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Seat position low to floor leaves you sitting with a knee high position. Seats itself are comfortable, but there is no space for your feet under the front seats. All floor surfaces are almost flat though considering it truck roots. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Not a power seat. Cannot get it into an optimum adjustment. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	No third row, cargo space small see full Toyota 4Runner review
2006	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	After a trip to TX from CO my back was hurting. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2006	4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	the front seat is too close to the floor. see full Toyota 4Runner review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Buick Verano

2012 Buick Verano Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	The Buick Verano's impression of substance and solidity extends to its seats. The front buckets are larger and more thickly padded than those in the typical compact sedan, yet have a firm, properly supportive underlying structure. They look and feel "premium." The Acura ILX's front seats, with more prominent side bolsters, provide better lateral support in hard turns, but don't feel as solid or as luxurious. see full Buick Verano review

2012 Buick Verano Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	While the Buick Verano's exterior is large for a compact sedan, its rear seat is among the tightest. The ILX is a bit tighter still. In it I can just fit behind my 5-9 self. But anyone who requires an adult-friendly rear seat will likely reject both cars (along with the new Cadillac ATS). The Verano's 14.5 cubic foot trunk--two cubes over the ILX's--is more competitive, and more in line with Buick's traditional strengths. see full Buick Verano review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Buick Verano

2012 Buick Verano Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I am 6'1", broad shouldered, overweight, and considered quite a big guy, but I have no trouble fitting into the car. Even if you are a couple of inches higher than me, you should be okay. Be advised I chose a car without a sunroof. The sunroof may cut into that headroom. see full Buick Verano review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	The seat cushioning is about the best in the business. The foam density Buick used is unlike any I have experienced. see full Buick Verano review

2012 Buick Verano Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	No rear seat venting except the floor makes it a bit stuffy for the rear seat passengers. The rear seating area is tight to get into but once seated provide enough space. see full Buick Verano review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	My right knee(with shorts on) hits the hard plastic to discomfort. I thought about putting some padding there. Same with the lack of padding inside the map pocket on the door to keep contents from rattleing. see full Buick Verano review
