2005 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I have been driving Volvos for 45 years, starting with a PV444. With every model the seats are the most comfortable and best support for driving. They provide leg, lumbar, and side support, and both driver and passenger seats have 6 way controls. see full Volvo V70 review |

Nice sport seats. Much better than the latest 2008 offerings from Volvo. see full Volvo V70 review |

Its luxurious, comfy, supportive, and decreases driver fatigue on long trips. We have a history of back and neck issues in our family and have never had an increase in symptoms while in a Volvo. This is the most comfortable car we have found for family. see full Volvo V70 review |

2005 | 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed automatic FWD |
I meant to choose the rear seat item. It could use more leg room in the rear. In the process of putting a lot of cargo space and comfortable front seat in a short car, the rear leg room took the hit. see full Volvo V70 review |
2004 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 247hp 2.3L I5 5-speed manual FWD |
Tight for adults. Better than much of the competition, but the leg room could be better. see full Volvo V70 review |

Not enough legroom for this size automobile. Cupholders are too small and hard to use. see full Volvo V70 review |
2013 Ford Transit Connect Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Transit Connect's second-row bench is roomy and fairly comfortable for two people, but somewhat tight for three. The Sienna has another half-foot of shoulder room. Also, the seatback in the Ford's second row does not recline. If you do want captain's chairs, well, they're not an option. The situation worsens in the Ford's third row, which is less substantial and much lower to the floor than the third-row seats in the Honda or the Toyota. Unlike the Transit Connect's second row, its third-row seat does slide fore-aft (about six inches) and recline. Slide it all the way back, and legroom becomes almost generous. Still, it isn't a place many adults would want to spend much time. On top of this, it should be easier to open and close the Transit Connect's sliding doors and to get into its third row. The second row doesn't tip or slide forward like those in conventional minivans. Instead, it must be pushed to the floor in a fairly difficult two-step procedure. see full Ford Transit Connect review |
