With leather, power seats allows for height adjustment to LOWER the seat. The non-power seats in the S (not SL) have no height adjustment and are far too high for an average male driver. Wide enough to fit an average 6 ft male. see full Nissan Rogue review |

2005 | 4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
We chose this wagon initially because it was the only sedan we could find that fit 2 carseats and an adult, or 3 carseats comfortably in the rear seat. Also, the two additional seats in the cargo area are nice if there are more kids along. see full Ford Taurus review |
