What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Nissan Frontier
| 2013 |
4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6

The driver's seat feels nice and comfy, even after two or three hours of driving. Not too much pressure under the legs by the knees, and not too little lumbar support. I imagine the passenger's seat is the same, but I so infrequently sit there I can't really comment.

I only rode in the back a couple times. Keep in mind, this is not a full-sized truck.
The legroom isn't much, but sufficient for a smaller adult or, if you keep the trip short, most anyone. The seat isn't really wide enough to comfortably sit 3.
Also the seating position is very upright - like church pew upright. I was not a fan, but I never sit back there anyway. :)

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Kia Forte
| 2014 |
People who need a roomy rear seat don't often buy coupes. So with the Civic Si the coupe is an inch and a half shorter (in both height and length) than the sedan, which translates to nearly three inches less headroom and nearly five inches less legroom in back, making it a very tight fit for even modestly sized adults.
Those who do want a roomy rear seat in their coupe will be much happier with the Forte. Compared to the sedan, Kia shaved the Koup's roofline an inch but kept the wheelbase the same. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, I had about an inch of clearance over my head and a hand's-width ahead of my knees.
Switch to the four-door body styles, and both cars are about equally roomy in back. But only Forte rear seat passengers enjoy rear air vents--in every body style.

One of the best of his kind. Almost unbeatable for a car of this price.
