2011	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I am a tall guy with big feet, so my vehicle choices are greatly restricted. The Jetta Sportwagen (Golf Wagon here in Canada) is very comfortable on long drives. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review

2007 Nissan Versa Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	The seats on this were really not nice. Cheap is the word. Poor shaping, no lumbar support. They have really improved this in the new 2012 sedan, at least. It only took them 5 years. see full Nissan Versa review
