One of the XL7’s strengths is comfort. The front seats are firm and very supportive for long stints. The steering wheel is wrapped in leather and features remote controls for the sound system. Yet even with one of its strengths there’s a serious weakness: While the seat’s fore, aft and height adjustments are power, the manual seatback lever is squeezed tightly between the door panel and the seat. The cheap plastic surrounding the seat bottom flexes when someone’s sitting in it, so the handle in our test car got stuck, allowing the seatback to flop back and forth until the handle was forced back in place. The potential safety hazard is obvious if you’re adjusting your seat while driving.
