TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Nissan Sentra

2017 Nissan Sentra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
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

great support. the sides basically hold you - which is important because the car can generate serious g-forces going around corners see full Honda Civic review

Frankly, the best seats I have sat in outside of a couple BMW Ms. Supportive, well bolstered with good lateral support. Also good support for the lower back for long drives. see full Honda Civic review

I have driven for as long as 12 hours in one sitting behind the wheel (only getting out for gas) and it felt fine. It is a firmer seat then some luxury cars, but for the economy level cars, it is a great seat. see full Honda Civic review
