| 2008 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
The seat is not as comfortable as Chrysler or Toyota. This is not an issue except for very long trips (6-8 hrs). see full Nissan Quest review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |

Seat hugs in the right places without being cumbersome. Headrest position is much better than the midsize GM vehicles I test-drove (Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave). see full Mazda CX-9 review |
