2014 Nissan Sentra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Nissan Sentra offers a smooth, quiet ride and about as much passenger (and cargo) room as you'll find in a compact sedan. Open the door, and the SL's leather-trimmed interior appears luxurious. Sit down, though, and the illusion crumbles. Unlike those in the Altima, the Sentra's flat, firm seats provide little in the way of comfort or support. A tilt adjustment for the driver seat would help, but one is not offered. The Civic's seats aren't much cushier, but their shape provides better support. For the best seats in the segment, check out the Chevrolet Cruze and Ford Focus. see full Nissan Sentra review |

It holds 5 people in the rear comfortly. It also has great utility. With the Stow & Go seats they all fold neatly into the floor. It even fits a 4 foot by 8 foot sheet of plywood -- I did not have to rent a truck from Home Depot. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |
2009 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Better seats and seating position than Town Car or Deville as a comparison. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |

2007 | 4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Very good support. Just the right height. Tilt steering column adds to comfort. Armrest also provides added comfort. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |

The 2nd and 3rd row seats are acceptable for even long trips. This is not the Stow-&-Go version where the seats seem to be thinner, less comfortable. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |

Stow-n-Go rear seats (rear AND middle seats fold flat into floor) are a mixed blessing. GREAT for cargo room flexibility but too small for best comfort for larger adults. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |
2007 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
inadequate thigh support, difficulty adjusting power seat into good position, seat bottom too flat and "lumpy" with leather/heated seats see full Chrysler Town & Country review |
