2014	4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD	best seats... most comfortable! I wont go back to Honda. dang. see full Nissan Altima review
2014	4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD	I bought this car because of the front seat leg room. I'm 6' 5" tall with a 36" inseam. This is the first car I've ever owned that I fit in perfectly. The cloth bucket seats are very comfortable. Every control is in easy reach even though I have the seat as far back as it can go. The tilt and telescoping steering wheel is great. This is the first mid size sedan since I've owned. It has more interior room than a 1999 Buick LeSabre I owned 10 years ago. see full Nissan Altima review
