2006 Nissan Pathfinder Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
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 |

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

Anyone whose owned a previous-gen WRX knows rear seat space, especially leg room, as "OK" at best. Subaru has revised the rear seats to where there is now more leg room for the lucky passengers in the rear. With the driver seat adjusted to how I sit (I'm 6-feet tall and have a more upright seating position), there is about 1.5 inches of space between my knees and the driver seat back (vs. no space on the previous gen!). Comfort is pretty good, although the seats take on more of a lean on the seat back, which may/may not jive well with your passengers backs. see full Subaru WRX review |
