When the vehicle bumbs & twists, it is generally rotating on some axis. This axis will be near the center of mass. the closer you are the the axis, the smaller the movements.

Since the window seats are distributed at distances farthest from the point of balance in the car, which is the center axis. like the fulcrum of a see saw, the closer the the center the less the amount of movement

Consider a rocking ship. The front goes up, the back goes down. What happens to the middle?
Note that the center is not immune from gross translational motions, e.g., if the car goes airborne, all parts of it go airborne.

well for these reasons;
1) u r relatively awasy from the wheels, so as to avoide direct impact of moving wheel,
2) Center of acis is close to the middle portion of the vehicle,

Its probably because you are not sitting right by the wheel, so you wont get all of the bounce off of the wheels.

It is the most balanced area.
