2011 Toyota Avalon Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2011 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Heated seats are wonderful in winter. Dual zone heater/air conditioner a plus for driver/passenger comfort. Back-up camera is handy for checking what the mirrors don't pick up. Quiet, smooth engine/transmission. Comfortable seats are easily adjustable. Easy access and good leg-room in rear seats. see full Toyota Avalon review

2012 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2012 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Although the rear captain seats are quite comfortable, I do not like how they roll forward. There is a track in the floor in which the rear seats fold and slide up behind the front seats. All I notice when in the back seat is how extremely difficult it is to clean out the mud and grit and salt (I live in Canada, we use salt on our roads) that gets left behind in the track from passenger footwear. see full Chevrolet Traverse review

The headrest position is horrible for long trips. Felt like my head was being pushed forward. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
