2012 Nissan LEAF Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2012 | 4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric 1-speed automatic FWD |
The front and rear seats are very comfortable. The back can be cramped with three passengers. The SL has heated front and rear seats which works great and are needed as the car heater is very slow to initially get warm. The heated steering wheel is also a nice touch. The seat fabric is soft but the light color might not wear well. see full Nissan LEAF review |
2006 Lexus GX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2005 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range |
It is great for young children, but not very comfortable for adults. It would LEGALLY allow you to drive many people around, but certainly not comfortably in the third row. Third row does NOT allow room even for kids in car seats to have any leg room. see full Lexus GX review |
