Smaller than the Maxima. Third person would be uncomfortable, less knee room. The plastic trough behind the front seat is too low. see full Infiniti G review |

The rear seat is basically a storage area. No one can sit back there! But its really no different than the rear of any convertible. (like my Mercedes Benz CLK350) see full Infiniti G review |

Seats in back are cramped. Once the kids hit teenage years they are not going to be happy back there for long rides. see full Infiniti G review |

Seems smaller than the G35, no rear reclining seats anymore and the headrests stick up a bit more than the old car. see full Infiniti G review |

Year | Comment | |
The optional Recaro seats are a must despite their $3,400 price, as they provide power-adjustable side bolsters that provide far better lateral support than the standard seats. But the Recaro seats aren't very comfortable, with overly firm bulges here and there. Though the lumbar support can be power-adjusted vertically as well as in-and-out, I couldn't find any position where it was comfortable and ended up adjusting it for minimum intrusiveness. see full Cadillac CTS review |
