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 303-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Front of the GXP is great - heated leather seats, plenty of seat adjustments, and the controls are all pointed at the driver. Even on a 20 hour trip, I had no issues with discomfort. see full Pontiac Grand Prix review |
