2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Excellent for tall, long legged people - even more leg room than a Cadillac, which appears larger. My children love it! Also plenty of head room for tall people. see full Toyota Prius review |

Fold down seats and rear hatch entrance to place long cargo easily in space. HondaCivic did not have trunk access to rear seats. see full Toyota Prius review |

No height adjustment and a bizarre seating angle. see full Toyota Prius review |

Seat needs more lower back support for distance driving. see full Toyota Prius review |

If you are much over 5 foot 10 inches tall, the drivers seat might get a little tight. Not much leg support either as the bottom cushion is very short. I hear the 2010 redesign helped with this. Since I use this car for not much more than an hour commute, I tolerate the seat as the rest of the car is so darn good. see full Toyota Prius review |

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 |
