2010 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 |

Seats are too short. Toyota seats are generally not comfortable, but for a car in this price range I would have expected better. see full Toyota Avalon review |
2015 Jeep Wrangler Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
Two adults can squeeze into the back of the regular Wrangler, but Jeep clearly didn't intend the two-door for people who'll often be using the rear seat. The door openings are small and the front seats don't return to their former position after being tipped forward to let people in. The Wrangler Unlimited has a much wider three-person rear seat served by its own doors. But even in the Unlimited rear knee room isn't abundant and the rear seat cushion is somewhat under-sized. Some owners of the two-door Wrangler remove the rear seat (unlike in the Unlimited, this doesn't require tools) to open up a larger cargo area with a flat floor. There's not a lot of cargo space behind the second row in the two-door. The great majority of the Unlimited's 20-inch wheelbase extension goes into the space behind the second row, nearly tripling cargo volume there from 17 to 46 cubic feet. It's the one to get if you want to be able to carry three or more people and their gear. see full Jeep Wrangler review |
