I had an old large dog who loved car rides, and this car was lower to the ground to allow her easier access, and the backseat was very comfortable and spacious for her. Human guests also appreciated the more spacious rear seat room and comfort, though for the past year or 2 I have completely removed the rear seats in favor of even more cargo room (and the excuse not to transport people). see full Nissan Versa review |

The seats are very comfortable. Made of squishy dense foam: not too hard but still supportive enough. I have reclined and slept in the front passenger seat overnight several times. see full Nissan Versa review |
