2006 Toyota 4Runner Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
2006 Toyota 4Runner Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

Not a power seat. Cannot get it into an optimum adjustment. see full Toyota 4Runner review

2011 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The rear seat room is generous. see full Subaru Forester review
2010 4dr SUV turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD
leather seat "baquet" has very good lateral control, but leather is slippery on braking see full Subaru Forester review
2010 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Enough room to feel comfortable, even at 6 feet tall. The fact that the Premium Trim package allows rear seats to recline a bit helps a lot as well. see full Subaru Forester review
