TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta
| 2014 Volkswagen Jetta Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | The Jetta is a little longer than the ILX (182 vs. 179 inches), and all of the additional inches appear to have gone into the rear seat. While the average adult will barely fit into the back seat of the Acura (those over 5-9 will be on close terms with the headliner), the Jetta has significantly more rear headroom and more rear legroom than the average midsize sedan, much less the average compact. If you like a roomy rear seat, you'll love the Jetta. Room is one thing, comfort another. The rear seat feels overly hard, and neither the cushion nor the backrest was set at a comfortable angle for me. Clearly some German engineer found these angles optimal, though. So maybe it's just me. see full Volkswagen Jetta review | |

Comfortable seating position. see full Honda Odyssey review |

The captains chairs in the second row can be apart or together. It is easy to get to the third row seat. There is plenty of leg room in the second and third row seats, and plenty of room between the second row seats. see full Honda Odyssey review |

Split 3rd row is great (3 kids) - access is great. 2nd row bucket seats are easy to access and very comfortable. see full Honda Odyssey review |

No back support, no thigh support. Seat headrests curve your spine forward. Seat shape was not the same for all four captain chairs. Quality control must be very poor. see full Honda Odyssey review |
| 2006 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Worst driver seat ever--both bottom and back are poorly shaped. Cannot drive more than a few minutes without pain--so have modified with air cushion and pillows, but only partially mitigates. see full Honda Odyssey review |
