2010 Nissan Maxima Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Lumbar in the base model. Good side bolstering on bottom cushion and through the shoulders. Large range of adjustment and the wheel tilts and shifts. see full Nissan Maxima review
2010	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Lots of room, soft seats. see full Nissan Maxima review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Bucket seats hold you in around corners - very supportive. Telescopic steering wheel and power seats ensure you get a great driving position. Both seats and steering wheel are heated. Dual climate control great for passengers. see full Nissan Maxima review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	It fits everywhere. On a recent trip, I drove all day and was never "seat tired". see full Nissan Maxima review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Adjustable everything! Air conditioned driver seat a huge consideration. see full Nissan Maxima review

2010 Nissan Maxima Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	My tall friends hit there heads on the roofline, they are over 6 foot see full Nissan Maxima review
2009	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	The rear seat of the 7th gen Maxima is slightly smaller than that of the 6th gen Maxima. Still fairly roomy, but slightly smaller. This is understandable because of the major styling change, and the conversion from 'near luxury family sedan' back to 'near luxury family sedan with a sporty edge' that took place between these generations. see full Nissan Maxima review

2015 Buick Verano Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I'm 6'3. With the seat all the way back I can't reach the pedals. I really don't need to say more. see full Buick Verano review

2015 Buick Verano Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	If you're tall, prepare for cramping if you have anyone needing to sit behind you. I cannot explain the lack of room here. With my seat in my long range riding position (as far back as I can go with my feet still reaching the pedals) there is 1 and a half inches between the edge of the back seat and the kneeboard on the back of the drivers seat. There is no human capable of putting their leg behind that. see full Buick Verano review
