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

2013 0 Seats mold to your body and they heat up fast which helps in winter. see full Hyundai Elantra review

2013 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
This is really not a con. If they offered the option of a front passenger power seat with lumbar as an option, I along with many others would likely opt for it. see full Hyundai Elantra review
2011 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
impossible for me to check rear when reversing. headrests are too big. see full Hyundai Elantra review
