2013 Nissan Quest Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2014 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
Here's the main reason I bought this van: my kids! Of all the vans we tested, they believed the second and third row seats were the most comfortable. Some may laugh at the boxy shape and fat rear end of the Quest, but the reason it's designed that way is because it maximizes interior room. I'm 6'1" (taller in the torso than legs) and even I think the van is spacious when I sit in the third row. The head and shoulder room is incredible. The seats are all very comfortable. The soft suspension makes riding as a passenger a pleasure. So, despite all the shortcomings I mention in this review, in my opinion, the Quest tops all the competitors in the category of passenger and driver comfort. The pleasing and luxurious interior materials contribute to this. Too bad the production of this iteration of the Quest appears to be in its final chapter. see full Nissan Quest review |

2007 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
Great when I can take my husband and teenagers up to the mountains for a ski trip without any major complaints. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |
2007 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Excellent for cruising but lateral support is sorely lacking for cornering. Needs power & memory for the tilt/telescope steering wheel. Good view out of and around vehicle. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |

Lots of room. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |
2005 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD |
These are the most comfortable and supportive seats I have ever sat in and this includes luxury cars like the Lincoln Town Car. The extendable thigh support is a bonus. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |

OK for kids, not really on for adults for a long journey. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |
2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
What room? What comfort? Tight and cramped and incredibly firm. Zero leg room for average height adults. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |
2007 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Center console protrudes into the leg area while gas pedal is far over to the right. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |
2007 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Rear seats are really only good for children and pets. A grown person could never sit back there. This is expected for a convertible though. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |
2007 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Limited leg room, especially during ingress and egress. Hump bisects leg room. Seat cushion needs to be 1-2 inches higher. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |

Sport seats were not provided to the US due to DOT crash testing regulations. This means the only seats available are the very flat and uncomfortable standard seats. Only the S4 has the Recaro option for the US. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |

For tall passengers, the front seats will need to be pushed back in order to provide front leg room. Width of the cockpit side-to-side is not substantial. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |
