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

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 Chevrolet Traverse

2011 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Although the rear captain seats are quite comfortable, I do not like how they roll forward. There is a track in the floor in which the rear seats fold and slide up behind the front seats. All I notice when in the back seat is how extremely difficult it is to clean out the mud and grit and salt (I live in Canada, we use salt on our roads) that gets left behind in the track from passenger footwear. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
2011 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The headrest position is horrible for long trips. Felt like my head was being pushed forward. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
