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

2014 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The second row captain's chairs are roomy and comfortable. The third row bench seat has a surprising amount of space, in particular with the 2nd row seats slid forward some. see full Chevrolet Traverse review

2014 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The seats we have on our LT are fine but the headrest on both cars I've had jut out too far and cannot be adjusted back far enough to be comfortable. This is particularly uncomfortable on longer trips. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
