YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Sedan 161-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Spacious enough to allow my 84 year old mother to get in and out without injuring herself! see full Kia Optima review

5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 After driving the Optima for five days straight for 10+ hours per day, other than the occasional stop, on a road trip, not one time did I get a sore back or thighs. see full Kia Optima review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Nissan Maxima

2017 Nissan Maxima Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
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
2017 Nissan Maxima Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
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
