2007 Nissan Pathfinder Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2006	4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	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
2006	4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Rear seating is small for long hauls, and seats WAY too hard see full Nissan Pathfinder review

2017 Subaru Forester Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2017	4dr SUV turbocharged 250hp 2.0L H4 8-speed shiftable CVT AWD	- Terrible front seat support - The cushions are too short - It's not noticeable on a test drive right away. I would not have bought the car! Test drive extensively! - Surfaces where your elbows would lay are too hard - I purchased foam pads to make it feel better. - Tall drivers like myself will struggle with the telescoping wheel's short extension range. - It is hard to get into a fully comfortable driving position. The memory seats in the XT help somewhat by retaining your seat settings if moved. - Front seat cushions are too short - Yes I said this twice - Front seat cushions are too short - Yes I said this THREE times! Subaru are you listening? The front seat cushions are WAY TOO SHORT! see full Subaru Forester review
