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 |

Angle of rear doors and seat do not work well when trying to get in and out. Worse if using as family car and trying to get child in/out of car seat. see full Ford Fusion review |
