What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Nissan Versa

2011 Nissan Versa Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Sedan 109-horsepower 1.6L I4
CVT FWD
Only subcompact we test drove that could actually fit four adults. More rear leg room than many midsize cars. see full Nissan Versa review
2011 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed manual FWD
The seats were ample, and well supported. In my last two cars (a Corolla and a Legacy) I needed a lumbar cushion, but not in the Versa. The seat bottoms also supported my thighs for enough of their length for comfort. see full Nissan Versa review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan

2012 Dodge Grand Caravan Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Minivan, ext. 283-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
I dislike the current emphasis on hard seats (and this applies to most other brands as well- Toyotas and Hondas are the worst). Enthusiast magazines can rave all they want about great support, etc, but the softer seats in friend's '92 Caravan are more comfortable than these in my 2013. I have an SXT model, which is sort of mid level in Grand Caravans, and it does have a power seat. However, that is an OPTION, and it should be standard above the SE model. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
2012 4dr Minivan, ext. 283-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Nice car, but front seats could be better. Close to a deal breaker. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
