2007 | 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Best in class, even better than the much larger Altima. see full Nissan *CL55 AMG review |

The rear seat room was the first attraction to the car and we ended up comparing it to larger cars. Adults are perfectly comfortable in the rear of this car, more so than larger cars. see full Nissan *CL55 AMG review |

2007 | 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Comfortable & wide seating, almost as good as our newer 2008 CRV AWD, for both driver & passenger. Centre console area is small & could be better designed, especially cup holder & 12 volt power outlet. see full Nissan *CL55 AMG review |
2007 | 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Excellent legrooms & headrests for 2 adult passengers, 3rd. person is fine for shorter trip as ours is mainly a solo driven commuter car most of the time. Seatback folds almost flat forward for larger packages (great for shopping at IKEA) see full Nissan *CL55 AMG review |

The seats on this were really not nice. Cheap is the word. Poor shaping, no lumbar support. They have really improved this in the new 2012 sedan, at least. It only took them 5 years. see full Nissan *CL55 AMG review |

2012 | 4dr Wagon 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
I am a big guy. 5'10 and about 290 lbs. This car is very comfortable for me. I can reach the controls nicely, love the heated leather seats. see full Subaru Outback review |

I have found our 2012 Outback to be very comfortable for long drives. The driver's seat has plenty of adjustment to accommodate my frame. Legroom is outstanding. My wife got so spoiled with the heated seats in our 99 Outback Limited that she balks at cars without. So our 2010 and now the 2012 have had the heated seats. see full Subaru Outback review |

Rear seat comfort is excellent even for very tall teenagers and 20 somethings. The redesign of the Outback in 2010 noticeably improved rear seat space. One note when flipping down the back seats. Make sure your head is out of the way when you lift the release lever. The seat back springs forward quickly. The angle of the rear seat can also be reclined for additional comfort. The fold down center cup holder is a nice touch. The seating position is high so visibility is great. see full Subaru Outback review |

Impressed with the seat comfort/adjustability/durability. 12+hours in the chair is no problem. see full Subaru Outback review |

Wide space with lots of shoulder, hip, leg and head room. Seats are comfy too without being decadent. see full Subaru Outback review |
