2006 Chevrolet Impala / Monte Carlo Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2006 | 4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Interior room is outstanding. Trunk room is phenomenal, especially with flip and fold flat rear seat. see full Chevrolet Impala / Monte Carlo review |
2005 | 4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 3.4L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Rear seat had good room. Passengers had good leg room. Only adults over 6ft would touch the backs of the front seat with their legs. Draw back was the low roof. see full Chevrolet Impala / Monte Carlo review |
2009 Nissan cube Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2010 | 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD |
Unparalleled rear seat room and comfort in this car for passengers. Should be among the easier cars of this size to put a baby seat into the back, if we have children. Our (longer and lower) 2004 Sentra paled in comparison of back seat usability. see full Nissan cube review |
2010 | 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD |
Adults can sit there in comfort. see full Nissan cube review |
2009 | 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD |
SEATS ARE COMFY FOR LONG TRIPS. DO NOT BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU. see full Nissan cube review |
