Feels more expensive and luxurious, like a Jaguar see full Nissan Murano review |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
It is large enough to comfortably seat three people, plus still having a large capacity trunk. see full Nissan Murano review |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
Perfect for a taller person; longer seat bottom gives better support; 8 way seat lets one get just the right position. see full Nissan Murano review |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD |
Even I can ride in the back seat. Not something that I can do in a lot of cars. see full Nissan Murano review |

I had a Camaro once, and the seats would have been better suited to that, rather than a crossover to take to work and back. The lumbar hurt, no matter where I set it. see full Nissan Murano review |
TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu
| 2012 Chevrolet Malibu Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2012 | On paper, the Malibu's rear seat is only a little tighter than those in the 2008-2012 sedan and in competing cars. In person, rear knee room would only be marginally competitive in the compact sedan segment. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, my shins graze the front seatbacks. GM is rushing some revised seats to market. But if past attempts to fix a cramped rear seat are any indication, this won't make a substantial difference. The rear seat in the Ford Fusion is roomier, if also short of the segment's quasi-limos. see full Chevrolet Malibu review | |

| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This is tight if front seats are postioned at or close to the back of their range; shorter wheelbase in this model compared to prior version. Rear seat access is excellent (i.e, for infant car seats, small item transport). see full Chevrolet Malibu review |
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I'm 6'4" tall and 60 years old. I have a tough time getting in and out due to the low roof. see full Chevrolet Malibu review |
