2013 Nissan LEAF Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

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 |

The front seats are lovely to look at, but are basically flat sofas and not quite as supportive as I would like. They adjust infinitely, and along with an adjustable steering wheel and adjustable pedals you can get a good driving position - but I have to give Buick the nod for a more orthopedically-designed and cradling seat. I also would wish to be able to defeat the feature that automatically moves the seat back two inches when the key is removed from the ignition. Can't be done without an expensive dealer visit to download new softare into the door control module. see full Lincoln Town Car review |
