2009 | 4dr SUV 202-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range |
It is big enough that I can take three passengers in relative comfort, considering the type of vehicle that it is. see full Jeep Wrangler review |

The seats are not as comfortable as my trucks seats were. They are pretty basic but so is all of the interior of the Wrangler. It is made to get dirty, not look good or be comfortable. see full Jeep Wrangler review |

2012 Nissan LEAF Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2012 | 4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric 1-speed automatic FWD |
The front and rear seats are very comfortable. The back can be cramped with three passengers. The SL has heated front and rear seats which works great and are needed as the car heater is very slow to initially get warm. The heated steering wheel is also a nice touch. The seat fabric is soft but the light color might not wear well. see full Nissan LEAF review |
