2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2010 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
These seats desperately need more lumbar support. They're okay in short distances, but I really want the Recaros from the Evo a few hours in. Stronger side bolsters would be nice for hoon duty, too. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review |
2012 Nissan Quest Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

2011 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
The seats are deeply upholstered and have generous side bolsters. Beneath the deep cushions there seems to be a well-designed form that bodes well for long trips. see full Nissan Quest review |
