2020 Toyota RAV4 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
I initially noted that the well-bolstered driver seat felt "ok." But after a few hours in it my rear started to feel sore. To be fair, I haven't had enough seat time in competitors to state that they fit me better. And even if they do, this could just be me. People come in many different shapes and sizes, have different postures, and so forth. Pity seat designers! The upshot: no one else can tell you how comfortable a seat will be for you. Make the test drive as long as you can before buying. see full Toyota RAV4 review |

Seats are comfortable but the cockpit seems designed to enfold you and while there is plenty of dose it doesn't feel roomy. The console is over large. see full Toyota RAV4 review |

2015 | 0 | I love the driver's seat -- it's supportive, comfortable and cushy. I like the power lumbar feature on the SXT that lets you position it up/down and larger/smaller. Not so big on the manual recline with the power seat -- adjustments to the seat bottom don't move the seatback. see full Dodge Journey review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2015 | 0 | This is NOT a vehicle for a family of six. There were nonstop complaints about legroom from all my kids -- the 8-year-old twins in the wayback, the teenagers in the middle row. I couldn't be comfortable in the driver's seat, so that my son could have enough room to actually sit straight in the middle row, while giving his little sister enough room for her feet in the back row. It's a "make-do" or "in a pinch" 6-passenger car. Across town with 6 people is okay, across the state would incite a riot and mutiny. see full Dodge Journey review |
