Apparently, Nissan never got the memo specifying crummy seats for economy cars. Instead, the Versa features great front buckets that are spacious, soft yet supportive, and in the case of the versions like our 1.8 SL, height-adjustable. Also on SL models are padded door sills, padded door armrests, and a padded fold-down center armrest, all serving to increase the comfort level. A tilting, leather-wrapped steering wheel is smooth to the touch and provides for a suitable driving position, while padded plastic on the center console and lower doors prevent knees from rubbing against hard surfaces in hard corners. Even with the seat jacked up, the Versa affords front occupants generous head room, and wide-opening doors permit easy entry and exit. Our only notable gripes include insufficient side bolsters and a shifter that feels an inch or so too low.
