2008 4dr SUV 266-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
The third row seating is only good for small children. see full Nissan Pathfinder review

Rear seat is cramped. I would gladly give up the third row seat, for more room for the rear (2nd row) seats. see full Nissan Pathfinder review

Rear seating is small for long hauls, and seats WAY too hard see full Nissan Pathfinder review

Good lumbar and side support, nicely adjustable seat and wheel. Shifter is very close to the wheel. Fits me like a glove, but my wife does find the seatback slightly tall. see full Honda Civic review

not able to fit a rear facing child seat, or very difficult to fit it. we had to even find a small size one. see full Honda Civic review

It took me a long time to find a comfortable driving position in this car. It may because of the low seat. I was finally (mostly) successful, but it took a long time to find it, and it is very different than my typical driving position. Also, not great on long trips -- the seat is generally supportive, but it starts to break down a few hours in. see full Honda Civic review

No access from trunk area. Also, very strong chemical smell in vehicle...off gassing from fabrics. The prius did not have near the smell. see full Honda Civic review
