It may seem strange to rate seat comfort so highly, but that's only if you have never driven in a Volvo. Amazing, ergonomic, adjustable, but those could describe many seats. What my wife would say (and I've read others express as well) is if you have back problems, get your Dr. to prescribe you a Volvo! They are that good. see full Volvo V70 review |

To give rear seats reasonable amount of room, you have to keep front seats forwards. see full Volvo V70 review |

Though not a big issue, the rear seats could be a bit wider for better 3-abreast seating (though most vehicles share this limitation). The greater need, however, is another few inches of legroom. It is adequate, but only that. Another 3 or 4 inches would make the rear seat amazing, but then again, that would come at the cost of rear cargo capacity ... no such thing as a "free lunch". see full Volvo V70 review |
2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
From the shoulders down the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio has a comfortable and supportive front seat. The adjustable side bolsters provide much better lateral support than the much smaller bolsters on the standard Macan seats (Porsche does offer better-bolstered seats as options). Unfortunately, the Alfa's headrests are too far forward for drivers with upright postures (such as myself) and lack a fore-aft adjustment. The Porsche's seats include such an adjustment, as do most in this price range. see full Alfa Romeo Stelvio review |
