TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Infiniti JX

2013 Infiniti JX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	I'm struggling to come up with a fifth reason for buying the Infiniti JX. Not because the rest of the vehicle is bad, but because in the great majority of aspects it's neither notably good nor notably bad compared to competitors. They're all fairly quick, smooth, and quiet. If I have to pick a fifth reason, then it's third row room and comfort. A Buick Enclave has a roomier third row, but both the Acura MDX and the Audi Q7 do worse. This said, the second row must be slid forward to provide legroom to people in the third row. The seats in both rearward rows are of the low-mounted, flat-cushioned variety typical of the segment, so they're not very comfortable for adults. You'll find a more adult-friendly second row in some large crossovers, especially those from Ford and Lincoln. see full Infiniti JX review

2013	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	Amazing rear seat comfort and even 3rd row seats are awesome!! I am 6'4" (with a longer torso) and I can get in the car easy, and sit comfortably in the 3rd row!! Great DVD system and air climate control for the rear seated passangers. see full Infiniti JX review
2013	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	Awesome. Great layout of everything. The most comfortable seats I have ever sat in. Great for long drives over 3 hours. I wish my Toyota 4unner seats were as comfortable; they are only good for about 1 hour, max. see full Infiniti JX review

2008	4dr Sedan 361-horsepower 6.0L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Cannot get comfortable - ever. Hurts my lower back after just 15 mins. I have the leather seats w/ premium package. No lateral support/bolstering either. Lumbar support useless. see full Pontiac G8 review
