Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Hatch 100-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The rear seats are pretty good but the headrests are poorly executed. They either poke the passenger in the back or put their head in an uncomfortable position. see full Mazda Mazda2 review

2008	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	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
2008	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	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

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD	The front seats lumbar support are uncomfortable. The back seats are a lot better, they feel really comfortable to sit or take a nap in. see full Nissan Versa review
