Harder seats than in the Murano, and now in a good way. The Murano has power lumbar support, letting you melt in the seat as much as you wish. Better lateral support in the Murano as well. see full Toyota RAV4 review |

I am 6'-7" tall. Audi builds cars that I can fit into comfortably. My 1998 A4 was the first car that truly fit me, and the S5 is just as good, if not better. see full Audi A5 / S5 review |
