2017 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 |

A fastback car with actual usable back seats! Coupes tend to have cramped back setas, but in this case it is very comfortable sitting in the back for extended periods of time. see full Scion tC review |
