What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Nissan LEAF

2012 Nissan LEAF Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric
1-speed automatic FWD
The front and rear seats are very comfortable. The back can be cramped with three passengers. The SL has heated front and rear seats which works great and are needed as the car heater is very slow to initially get warm. The heated steering wheel is also a nice touch. The seat fabric is soft but the light color might not wear well. see full Nissan LEAF review

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD
This car has a very small back seat. If you want to carry passengers for a long distance, get an E class. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
2009 4dr Sedan 228-horsepower 3.0L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD
The seat causes no discomfort to my tailbone like many ohter cars. Furthermore, the padding is firm and feels like it will last a long time. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
2009 4dr Sedan 228-horsepower 3.0L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Mercedes-Benz makes the best seats in the business, period. Even after a 10 hour drive, my back did not hurt. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan supercharged 181hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Not much leg room when compared to other luxury entries. No flat floor so a 3rd passenger in the rear is not possible. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
2009 4dr Sedan supercharged 181hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Center console and stack cut into front side leg room, my left leg is always up against the center console. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
