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

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
