Rear seats are cramped. Access is awful, with strange half-doors that require front doors to be open before they can be opened. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review |

There is plenty of space for all of the passengers and personal gear. The bucket seats add a lot of comfort. They also allow some extra room for third row passengers. Leather is the way to go, and the heated seats come in handy on those cold winter days. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review |

Rear seat leg room cramped. Aparently moved forward to make room for 3rd row seating. 2nd row seats should be adjustable front to back. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review |
