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
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Volkswagen Passat

2014 Volkswagen Passat Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2015 The Passat's top strength remains a non-sporting attribute: never mind how the specs compare, the midsize Volkswagen has the roomiest interior in its class. Rear seat legroom seems limo-like compared to the merely adequate space inside the Mazda. Up front, there's also plenty of stretch-out space for heads, shoulders, and knees. The Passat's trunk is also among the largest, though in this area the Mazda comes up only a cubic foot short. see full Volkswagen Passat review
