2015 Nissan Versa Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2014 | 0 | I was expecting zero room in the back, but I sat in the backseat even with the drivers seat adjusted far back (I'm 5'11" but long legs and tend to adjust seats to the back end of their travel), I had reasonable legroom for a very compact car. The seat covering material was pleasant as well. see full Nissan Versa review |

2008 | 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Similar to the front seats, super comfortable and soft. A lot of leg room with an average-sized driver + passenger up front. Rear moonroof gives off the feel of a huge ceiling. see full Lexus ES review |

Not very supportive. Felt like a hollowed out barrel. Only support was on the outside edges. see full Lexus ES review |

the seams in a seat should run front to rear vs. left to right this would make the seat more comfortable. the Toyota Camry leather seats are definitely more comparable... I think Lexis wanted a sportier looking seat but sacrificed comfort in doing see full Lexus ES review |

There is simply not enough legroom and three passengers will probably feel very cramped in the back as well. see full Lexus ES review |
