2017 Nissan Sentra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Different people are shaped and sized differently and so will have different impressions of a given car seat. I found the Nissan Sentra's revised seats uncomfortable. A power lumbar adjustment has been added. But this was of no use, as even when minimized the lumbar bulge is overly prominent for my back. I drove with my upper back off the seat. I've had a similar problem with the seats in some small Hondas, but the seats in the new Civic fit me well. see full Nissan Sentra review

2011 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Although the rear captain seats are quite comfortable, I do not like how they roll forward. There is a track in the floor in which the rear seats fold and slide up behind the front seats. All I notice when in the back seat is how extremely difficult it is to clean out the mud and grit and salt (I live in Canada, we use salt on our roads) that gets left behind in the track from passenger footwear. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
2011	4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The headrest position is horrible for long trips. Felt like my head was being pushed forward. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
