2016 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 |

The rear seats have limited leg room. A forward facing child car seat (Safety 1st Air Protect) is fine but to install it rear facing would make the passenger seat almost unusable and being a 4 seat there is no option to install in the middle of the rear which i find allows in many cars a good way to keep everyone safe & comfortable. see full Chevrolet Volt review |

Front seats are semi-hard and covered in strange material. I could see people larger than myself having issues with them. see full Chevrolet Volt review |

No power seat in a $46k car?? Get real, Chevy. Once you get used to them, though, both front and rear seats are comfortable for up to an hour or so. Longer than that and I need different lower back support that it doesn't have. But they are heated which is nice and it's comfortable leather. A few tweaks and/or an optional chair & this would be a non-issue. see full Chevrolet Volt review |
