Extremely uncomfortable driver seat. This was the base model with cloth manual seats. They are too hard . see full Pontiac G6 review |

Hip point makes easy entry/egress. Supports my 265 pound frame. Offers enough leg/hip/shoulder room. Seats are heated, which is great in the cold Arctic. Many choices of moving/tilting helps me get a comfortable position at all times whild driving! see full Nissan Murano review |
