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

2009 Toyota Corolla Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	I am 6 foot tall, 250 lbs and have plenty of room in the front seat. The driver's position holds me well and i do not feel like i am falling out of the seat when cornering. The passenger seat sits higher than i want, but there is plenty of room there as well. see full Toyota Corolla review

2008	4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Car was too confined for 3 tall pre teen kids/8/11/12 years old. Not enough leg nor shoulder room, Wife and myself near 6ft tall see full Toyota Corolla review
2008	4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Non existent, adults should not use the rear seats. Could be used as punishment for criminals. see full Toyota Corolla review
