2006 Volvo S60 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed automatic FWD	Not enough rear seat legroom for a car in this class. see full Volvo S60 review
2005	4dr Sedan turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Minimal rear seat leg room. Our kids are 9 & 8 - we are having to look for a replacement car as they are getting too big for this one. To offset the front seats are as comfortable as I have experienced in a car. Now considering an S80 or XC70. see full Volvo S60 review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Jeep Wrangler

2012 Jeep Wrangler Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV 285-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	If you have a long-legged person in the front, the rear seat legroom can be a bit small. A major issue however is that there are no vents in the backseat for climate control. This is especially noticeable in the winter. In order to keep my daughter warm driving in the mountains in the winter, we have to keep the front unbearably hot in order to circulate enough heat to keep her barely warm enough. We typically have to keep a blanket in the back seat for anyone to use in the winter when temperatures fall into the 30s. Switching to summer, the back seat can stay somewhat cool if the vents are pointed towards the back. Depending on where one sits, the front seats can block some of the airflow and it can be uncomfortably warm at times especially if sitting on the side of the Jeep that the sun is hitting. In the hottest part of the summer, we usually have to run the A/C at 3/4 full blast and on recirculate to keep the back seat comfortable. see full Jeep Wrangler review
2012	2dr SUV 285-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Even tho there are rear seats, I would never ride in back, too small back there. see full Jeep Wrangler review
2011	4dr SUV 202-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	It has the ability to go back and forth but not tilt the base seat. Firm but not being able to adjust the angle (like electric 10 way) makes a difference for tall and full frame people. I will be looking to adjust angle asap. see full Jeep Wrangler review
