2013 Nissan Quest Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

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 |

Two middle seats are bucket seats and VERY comfortable. Leg room in 3rd row is a little limited. see full Toyota Sienna review |

The 3rd row seats have enough leg room and the seats themselves are well built. That said, I have not tried the 3rd row seats of close competitors like the Odyssey see full Toyota Sienna review |

The Sienna is an excellent family vehicle if interior space and overall capability are your priorities. It is comfortable for long family drives and you NEVER run out of space in this car. see full Toyota Sienna review |

I have the CE which does not have adjustable lumbar support or 8-way adjustments. The seat has a fixed height, which is a bit too high for me. Also the seat is a bit too deep. see full Toyota Sienna review |

At $35,000 I think it could be much better. Hurts more than my Tacoma 4X4 after a long drive. see full Toyota Sienna review |
