Hip point makes easy entry/egress. Supports my 265 pound frame. Offers enough leg/hip/shoulder room. Seats are heated, which is great in the cold Arctic. Many choices of moving/tilting helps me get a comfortable position at all times whild driving! see full Nissan Murano review

The power driver seat and tilting/telescopic steer wheel puts you in perfect driving position- I felt that the RAV-4s steering wheel was always too far away. see full Nissan Murano review

There is plenty of room in the front seat area. It feels open and spacious. Tall drivers might find they would like a little more headroom or the ability to lower the seat another inch. see full Nissan Murano review

Overall, the seat is too soft. The seatback is completely lacking in lateral support and the cushion is too short with no thigh support. It’s fine for around town driving, but tiring after just an hour of highway travel. The lumbar support is decent, b see full Nissan Murano review

2010 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2011 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD
I have MS, so comfortable seats are a must. This is the only car that I've been in where I could do a non-stop trip from Michigan to Washington DC in. No fatigue, no stopping for a stretch. It's that good, and VW throws in standard heated seats for the GTI. And they do mean "heated" seats, not "warmed" seats, not "take-the-edge-off" seats. Turn them on full and your bum will be roasting with in a few minutes. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI review

Seats actually fit your body and have proper bolstering, unlike most other seats in this price range which are more like shelves for oversized American behinds. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI review
