2010 Nissan Versa Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
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 |

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 |
2017 Kia Niro Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2017 | The Kia Niro's compact exterior dimensions somehow contain plentiful headroom and legroom in both rows. Beyond the measurements, the rear seat is positioned at an unusually comfortable height, affording both excellent leg support and an open view forward over the front seats. see full Kia Niro review |
