2006 Nissan Quest Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 The bench back seems kinds stiff after sitting in the captains chairs.That is one thing they could improve. see full Nissan Quest review
2005 4dr Minivan, ext. 240-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 MOST COMFORTABLE VEHICLE FOR 7 PASSENGERS AND THE SKYVIEW MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. NISSAN RELIABILITY OF THE 3.5L IS RESOUNDING.IF THEY CAN ONLY FIX THE ROTOR ISSUE IT WOULD BE THE BEST VAN ON THE MARKET see full Nissan Quest review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Subaru Outback

2008 Subaru Outback Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 A little tight in the left portion of the footwell; small dead pedal. see full Subaru Outback review
2008 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Footroom too short. see full Subaru Outback review
2008 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 not long enough for a 6 foot 2 inch frame but I manage see full Subaru Outback review
2007 4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I was amazed at how small the back seat is in this car. Really no bigger than a compact sedan, eg Civic or Corolla. I can't fit my 3 kids (in car seats) back there, and feel bad when co-workers pile in to go to lunch. Surprisingly small for a vehicle this size, and marketed as a "family car." If you plan to put adults or 3 kids back there regularly, look at the '10 or newer (or at something else -- the rear seat in my co-worker's Accord is far bigger and more comfortable). see full Subaru Outback review
2007 4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Leg and head room lacking for over 6 footers. see full Subaru Outback review
2007 4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Seat back a bit low for 6 footers. see full Subaru Outback review
