2011 Nissan Altima Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2012 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
Roomy front seat room. see full Nissan Altima review
2010 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
I am 6'3", weigh 235. Being a big guy, I find this car VERY comfortable. I use it in my work daily. I drive it multiple trips/day (there have been as many as 8-10 trips/day-from 2 miles up to 50 miles/each trip). So I am in/out of the car multiple times/day. It's very easy to enter and exit and is very roomy for a mid-sized car and also has a lot of rear leg room. The trunk is large as well and the back seat folds down making the useful trunk space all the more. I also like the console and having the iPod connection in the second storage area of the console-out of the way. Hip room of the front seat is very generous as well. Just yesterday I had a rear seat passenger who commented how much leg room they had in the back. see full Nissan Altima review

I am a big guy who at first did not consider Altima because I did not think I would fit in it. I was surprised to find I fit just fine. I am 6'3" and 252lbs. The front seats provide ample room. I also have a lot of head room. see full Nissan Altima review

Very comfortable. see full Nissan Altima review

Very difficult to get in and even more difficult to get out. Only teens in good shape can do it easily see full Nissan Altima review

2011 Acura TSX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
I find the heated front seats exceptionally comfortable. I am 6' 2" and have very good room. Note, however, that my wife finds the forward lean in the headrests uncomfortable. see full Acura TSX review
2010 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Drove 4 straight hours in these seats. They hug in corners and don't leave you butt feeling numb even after long drives. Not many seats out there that are more comfortable (Volvo is one of the makers that comes to mind with better seats) see full Acura TSX review

2010 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD
The rear seats are fairly comfortable, but they only provide about 34" of legroom, and there is very little clearance below the seats. see full Acura TSX review
2010 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The rear seats can be a little tight for people on the tallish side (for me, anything above 5'10"). This can get more complicated with a tall driver/front passenger and tall rear seat occupants. see full Acura TSX review
2010 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The trunk space is adequate, but get a hatchback or wagon (or SUV if you're into that sort of thing) if you're going to regularly carrying anything more than the usual grocery bags, suitcases, golf bags, etc. That said, the 60/40 split fold rear seats will allow for surprisingly longish items to fit (managed a 6 foot ladder, barely). see full Acura TSX review
