2009 Suzuki SX4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Hatch 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual 4WD	Adults can sit back there without bending into a pretzel see full Suzuki SX4 review
2008	4dr Sedan 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Interior and cargo space are roomy for a compact car. Lots of head & leg room for front and back seats. Easy to get in and out of front seats. Trunk is big. For a small car that's easy to park there's plenty of interior space. see full Suzuki SX4 review
2008	4dr Hatch 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic 4WD	It is what it is. I fit into the seat well. see full Suzuki SX4 review
2008	4dr Sedan 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Seat are ok,,, miss the feel of leather but something I can live with, plenty of leg room for me. see full Suzuki SX4 review

2009 Suzuki SX4 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Hatch 150-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual 4WD	Very little room for driver and passengers. Driver is almost touching windshield by a forehead. A small leg room too especially for driver and rear passengers. see full Suzuki SX4 review
2009	4dr Hatch 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic 4WD	I will say the rear seat was fairly comfortable although my hair was brushing up against the ceiling. Impossible to put 4 people in this car comfortably. see full Suzuki SX4 review
2009	4dr Hatch 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic 4WD	Space behind rear seats unacceptable. see full Suzuki SX4 review
2008	4dr Hatch 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual 4WD	Not much leg room, even for average adults. see full Suzuki SX4 review

2017 Nissan Sentra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Different people are shaped and sized differently and so will have different impressions of a given car seat. I found the Nissan Sentra's revised seats uncomfortable. A power lumbar adjustment has been added. But this was of no use, as even when minimized the lumbar bulge is overly prominent for my back. I drove with my upper back off the seat. I've had a similar problem with the seats in some small Hondas, but the seats in the new Civic fit me well. see full Nissan Sentra review
