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
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
