2014 Nissan Altima Owner Comments

problem #1

Altima SL 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 900 miles

Nissan's seating design is Not good!

Bought the 2014 Altima SL since 1) had a 2005 Altima S and 2) seats were supposedly comfortable according to Nissan [at their website and Altima brochures/dealership people]. The car included leather seats with a 8 position adjustable power seated as standard equipment.

After driving it for awhile, butt slowly became numb and lower back began to ache. Already have a past personal medical issue with herniation and sciatica nerve. Seats feel like it almost bottomed out to flat!

Also related were that the left footrest was TOO forward and not pushed back enough as well as the brake and accelerator pedals were Also too forward and close to each other. There's about 3-4 INCHES behind the brake/accelerator pedals so both could've been positioned back MORE, leaving More foot space and extended leg room.

Test driving the car in such a short time is NOT even a good indication of proper fit or handling of the car until one has it after purchase/lease.
