2006 Nissan Sentra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4
CVT FWD
Seats are hard. Headrest forces your head to bend too far forward. Sculpted seat backs forces your shoulders too far forward from your spine. see full Nissan Sentra review
2006 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
With the front seats all the way back, children can barely fit their legs behind the seats. see full Nissan Sentra review
