I generally favor the Versa's interior. Control design is almost ideal, dials and levers move tightly, and presentation is professional (if plain). The sound system is also better than expected, and its double-DIN-sized stereo faceplate (rare these days) lends well to audio mods.
Yes, the Versa remains vice-free... right up until about four hours, when a mild ache starts to spread throughout your backside. It's not as bad as some cars, but among all the Nissans I've driven up and down the state, this Versa was the only one to leave me less than refreshed after a long drive. The culprit is the overstuffed, undersupportive padding, which seems uncharacteristic for the company. So does the grainy fabric that makes these chairs look and feel like props from That 70s Show.
