My DD? A base model 2014 Nissan Versa... Hell the thing has manual roll down windows and manual locks... At work I'll drive when we go out for group lunches. People see the small car and generally comment about not fitting in the back. Then they get in and this thing has the most leg room they've ever seen. Same for me in any car I've ever owned including my wife's Equinox.

I can put the front seat all the way back and my knees still don't touch the front seat it if I'm in the back. What is Nissan doing right while Chevy crams us in their vehicles???
Its because the Nissan versa is a ugly little box. Lets see Nissan build a high performance 2 door coupe that is stylish and see what kind of back seat room there is. Almost impossible to have a super strong chassis and drive train with super good looks in a 2door configuration that has 4 door rear seat . Have to consider the bulk needed for a stiff chassis to handle the bulk of the powerful drive train and suspension components that take a lot of room.
