2007 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The seats are very comfortable for the size car. see full Lexus IS review |
2006 | 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The good of the front seat comfort is that the seats are ventilated. They could be stronger and cooler but that is my preference. Why is it that we cant get Audis, BMWs, or Lexus with fabric seats in the US? see full Lexus IS review |

Not enough rear legroom. see full Lexus IS review |

The rear seat really is too small for adults. The front seats have to be moved forward for adults to sit in the back. see full Lexus IS review |

The rear seats are very comfortable, but TINY. see full Lexus IS review |

We do not have small children, and only small children could fit back there. see full Lexus IS review |
2006 | 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The front seat headrests are too far back for me. I feel if I use them I am looking at the sky because of their angle. I would prefer some fwd-rev adjustment which i have seen on other cars. see full Lexus IS review |
2015 Nissan Rogue Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | Both the Rogue and the Forester have roomy rear seats mounted higher off the floor than most, and thus better suited for adult comfort and non-adult outward visibility. But only the Nissan has air vents back there. The Rogue is also one of the only members of the segment to offer a third-row seat, the others being the Mitsubishi Outlander and the Kia Sorento (which in width and price actually falls between compact and midsize). Unlike in the others, though, you cannot get a third-row seat with the Rogue's top trim level. So you must choose between the third-row seat on the one hand and the SL's additional features (heated leather seats, Bose audio system, forward collision alert, LED headlights) on the other. You also cannot get the third-row seat with the panoramic sunroof. The tested vehicle was the SL, so no third-row seat. Judging from the specs, it should be roomier than that in the Outlander, and about a match for that in the Sorento. Adults might fit in a pinch, but it's probably best to think of the seat as kids-only. Combine this third-row seat availability with the Rogue's EPA ratings, and you have the most fuel-efficient vehicle that can seat seven (but not on leather). see full Nissan Rogue review |

The Rogue SL's leather-trimmed seats appear luxurious, but like those in some other recent Nissans (with the notable exception of the Altima) feel flat and overly firm. The power seat adjustments include height, but not tilt. Mazda has also started deleting the driver seat tilt adjustment, and both automakers deserve to be taken to task for this. Those with upright builds (including me) will find that the Rogue's front seat headrests jut too far forward. The Forester's front seats are more comfortable. see full Nissan Rogue review |

In previous car, I had problems with leg pain after 2.5 hours. No such problem after multi-hour drives now. Still need an insert for back support. see full Nissan Rogue review |
