2013 Nissan Sentra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Nissan Sentra offers a smooth, quiet ride and about as much passenger (and cargo) room as you'll find in a compact sedan. Open the door, and the SL's leather-trimmed interior appears luxurious. Sit down, though, and the illusion crumbles. Unlike those in the Altima, the Sentra's flat, firm seats provide little in the way of comfort or support. A tilt adjustment for the driver seat would help, but one is not offered. The Civic's seats aren't much cushier, but their shape provides better support. For the best seats in the segment, check out the Chevrolet Cruze and Ford Focus. see full Nissan Sentra review |
