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

2010 Mazda CX-9 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Seat hugs in the right places without being cumbersome. Headrest position is much better than the midsize GM vehicles I test-drove (Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave). see full Mazda CX-9 review
2009 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Easy access to third row, good leg room in second and third row. see full Mazda CX-9 review
2009 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Access to the 3rd row is better than any other 7 passenger SUV I drove. see full Mazda CX-9 review
