What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Nissan Xterra

2006 Nissan Xterra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 The seats are supportive without being rigid. I like the easy to clean, removable seating material. see full Nissan Xterra review
2006 Nissan Xterra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 4.0L V6
6-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range		 The rear seat on the XTerra is not spacious, but it is sufficient for shorter adults, kids, and pets. At 6'4", I'm cramped and the narrow door opening doesn't help with access. Still, it's far less clastrophobic than the FJ Cruiser. see full Nissan Xterra review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Acura MDX

2011 Acura MDX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The interior prioritizes appearance over actual utility; it's surprisingly cramped for such a large vehicle. For example, my Highlander is roughly the same size externally but seems downright cavernous on the inside in comparison. A rear passenger can fully stretch out in the Toyota. Not so in the Acura. see full Acura MDX review
