What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUT 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	So bad I can't drive it much more than the 4 miles to and from work. The front seats are so hard that the first couple times I drove it I couldn't figure out why my feet were so cold. Because the circulation below my knees was being cutoff. I have tried extra cushions for the seat bottom and I have found something that really helps, but on longer drives, combined with the firm ride - bring your Advil. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Nissan Maxima

2016 Nissan Maxima Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	Starting with the 2013 Altima and continuing with the 2015 Murano, the latest Nissans have had exceptionally comfortable front seats. The new Maxima's seats are based on the Altima's, but have some additional padding. While they don't feel as cushy and form-fitting to me as the Murano's, they're still more comfortable than the Acura TLX's front seats, which are themselves pretty good. The side bolsters are of similarly moderate size and aggressiveness in both cars, but the Maxima SR's Alcantara upholstery prevents sliding much better than the TLX's leather. see full Nissan Maxima review

2016 Nissan Maxima Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	If you need an especially roomy rear seat, then the Maxima isn't your best bet. The Nissan does have an inch or two more rear knee room than the Acura TLX, and about an inch more rear headroom than the Lincoln MKZ (perhaps enough for someone six-feet tall), but the LaCrosse, Azera, and Avalon offer enough rear seat space for adults to not only fit but stretch out. see full Nissan Maxima review
