What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Nissan Frontier

2012 Nissan Frontier Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2013 4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic RWD
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. see full Nissan Frontier review

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. :) see full Nissan Frontier review

2012 Volkswagen's research must have found that Americans highly value rear legroom, because the Passat has an abundance of it. Unless you're an NBA center you'll have plenty of room to stretch out in the back of this sedan. see full Volkswagen Passat review

SEL Premium seating is fantastic. Definitely worth the cost of the upgrade over the mid-grade seats. see full Volkswagen Passat review

rear seat room is exceptional. can handle long-legged folks with ease and those with large shoe sizes. enter and exiting with larger folks not a problem either. see full Volkswagen Passat review
