2011 Mazda CX-9 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2011 | 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Seat hugs in the right places without being cumbersome. Headrest position is much better than the midsize GM vehicles I test-drove (Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave). see full Mazda CX-9 review |
2006 Nissan Quest Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2007 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
The bench back seems kinds stiff after sitting in the captains chairs.That is one thing they could improve. see full Nissan Quest review |
2005 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
MOST COMFORTABLE VEHICLE FOR 7 PASSENGERS AND THE SKYVIEW MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. NISSAN RELIABILITY OF THE 3.5L IS RESOUNDING.IF THEY CAN ONLY FIX THE ROTOR ISSUE IT WOULD BE THE BEST VAN ON THE MARKET see full Nissan Quest review |
