Seats are hard. Headrest forces your head to bend too far forward. Sculpted seat backs forces your shoulders too far forward from your spine. see full Nissan Sentra review |

2011 | 2dr Hatch 180-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
A fastback car with actual usable back seats! Coupes tend to have cramped back setas, but in this case it is very comfortable sitting in the back for extended periods of time. see full Scion tC review |
