There are no rear seats in this vehicle. Was considering a 2 seater, but wife was not impressed so obtaining approval from that quarter would have been difficult. see full Nissan 350Z 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 |
