Here's John's response: I am dumb founded about the seat. In nearly thirty years of test driving vehicles, I have never experienced such an uncomfortable feeling. Would not have written about it had it not been for friend’s similar experience, who incidentally, physically mirrors you. As for not being able to hold juice in the battery for later use, that feature would cost very little, and for those who do not understand plug-in hybrids it wouldn’t take much to educate them. Congratulations on accepting Chrysler not including it. That is something I couldn’t accept. --Larry]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://cleanfleetreport.com/test-drive-2017-chrysler-pacifica-hybrid-platinum/#comment-2541">A Johnson</a>.</p> <p>@A.Johnson,<br /> Great comments.
