2016 Dodge Journey Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
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 |
2016 Dodge Journey Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
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 |
