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 |

I am very pleased with the power the VQ40DE makes. It was much faster than the normally-aspirated F150 V6 and the GM 4.3L V6, and similar to the Tacoma. In fact, it felt like it had just as much pep as the 5.0L in the F150. This is likely because of the weight difference. It only has a 5-speed automatic, whereas other similarly-aged trucks seem to be coming with 6 to 8-speed automatic transmissions. see full Nissan Frontier review |

The factory tires are a little noiser than I'd like on the highway. Also, they don't seem to have great traction in mud or snow, but this seems to be how it goes with OEM tires, in my experience. Once they wear out, I'll be picking something different. They do seem to be wearing well - still have some tread at 45,000 miles. see full Nissan Frontier review |
