2012 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The third room has enough head room to even fit an adult comfortably and is wide enough to accommodate three individuals. It is one of the few SUV's that offer 8 seat capacity and has a larger interior capacity than a Tahoe. see full GMC Acadia review
2011 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6

we travel with adults not children and find the 2nd row very comfortable. see full GMC Acadia review
2010 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Better 2nd & 3rd row comfort than the Honda Minivan (this is to be a daily driver for a family with 4 kids under 10) see full GMC Acadia review

2010 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
Lumbar in the base model. Good side bolstering on bottom cushion and through the shoulders. Large range of adjustment and the wheel tilts and shifts. see full Nissan Maxima review
2010 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
Lots of room, soft seats. see full Nissan Maxima review
2009 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
Bucket seats hold you in around corners - very supportive. Telescopic steering wheel and power seats ensure you get a great driving position. Both seats and steering wheel are heated. Dual climate control great for passengers. see full Nissan Maxima review
2009 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6

It fits everywhere. On a recent trip, I drove all day and was never "seat tired". see full Nissan Maxima review

6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
The rear seat of the 7th gen Maxima is slightly smaller than that of the 6th gen Maxima. Still fairly roomy, but slightly smaller. This is understandable because of the major styling change, and the conversion from 'near luxury family sedan' back to 'near luxury family sedan with a sporty edge' that took place between these generations. see full Nissan Maxima review
