2014 Toyota Avalon Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
Compounding the Avalon's lack of suspension compliance, its seats are also firm, yet lacking in lateral support. You very much sit on them rather than in them. On a long drive my rear end reported impinged circulation. The front passenger is even worse off, as the tilt of that seat can be adjusted only in the Limited. Rear seat passengers also complained about overly firm, insufficiently contoured cushions. see full Toyota Avalon review |

2011 Volvo V50 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 113hp 1.6L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD |
Rear seat is slightly hampered by limited head/leg/sideways room, but for normal sized persons the seat is fantastic for two with splending leg and back support. Car is also very silent, making long drives a pleasure. see full Volvo V50 review |
2010 | 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Lots of front seat room. Good dash design accommodates tall passengers with rear facing car seat behind. Seat was vertically adjustable providing lots of hear room. see full Volvo V50 review |
