Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Superior to other minivans in ease of entry, available legroom, and comfort. see full Nissan Quest review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	The bench back seems kinds stiff after sitting in the captains chairs.That is one thing they could improve. see full Nissan Quest review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	The seat is not as comfortable as Chrysler or Toyota. This is not an issue except for very long trips (6-8 hrs). see full Nissan Quest review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Subaru Outback

2006 Subaru Outback Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Leg and head room lacking for over 6 footers. see full Subaru Outback review
2007	4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Seat back a bit low for 6 footers. see full Subaru Outback review
2007	4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I was amazed at how small the back seat is in this car. Really no bigger than a compact sedan, eg Civic or Corolla. I can't fit my 3 kids (in car seats) back there, and feel bad when co-workers pile in to go to lunch. Surprisingly small for a vehicle this size, and marketed as a "family car." If you plan to put adults or 3 kids back there regularly, look at the '10 or newer (or at something else -- the rear seat in my co-worker's Accord is far bigger and more comfortable). see full Subaru Outback review
2006	4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Too small for kids see full Subaru Outback review
2006	4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Too short! I am 6ft tall and the front passenger seat leaves me feeling very cramped. Drivers position is better. Seats also too narrow. Maybe plenty of room for skinny folks, but not for us folks that are large boned :-) see full Subaru Outback review
2005	4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	The Outback is much smaller (but not cheaper) than the XC70. see full Subaru Outback review
2005	4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	very tight and narrow rear seat room. feels much bumpier in the rear seat than the front seat. see full Subaru Outback review
