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 |

2008 | 4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This car is spacious and very easy to get into and out of. It allows one to sit up high and still have plentiful headroom. see full Hyundai Azera review |

Easy step-in combined with excellent headroom means my 96 year old mother in law can get in and out without effort! She can cross her legs when seated. see full Hyundai Azera review |

The pitch between front and rear seats is huge. The rear door opens wider than almost any other current model, and my 97 year old mother in law can get in and out easily. see full Hyundai Azera review |
