Heh, nice. S40 capacity is 92 ft, Cruze is 95. Altima is 100.7.

Altima might be a weak car for the size, but it is at least roomier in the back seat, and the low mileage ones (I have recently gotten a grey one with 5K) drive reasonably well.

S40 and Cruze capacity are probably a wash given S40's greater flexibility with seat movement, but S40 may be a smoother ride and more comfortable.

My fault for being an uninformed consumer. Their fault for pitching the S40 as an upgrade after knowing my reasons to have a 'bigger' car.

With this, I'm more inclined to believe ignorance/incompetence than that they were lying when telling me the Cruze was F.
