Car advice please - seats in new model not like old

Trying to help family members who are car shopping...

Their last car was a 2012 Nissan Sentra. They had planned to get the same thing again, but the seats have changed and they are finding the new ones uncomfortable.

Basically, the old ones were flat seats you just sat on, while the newer models have seats that are more sloped (one of the people who would be using the car described sitting on it as feeling like your stomach was being pushed into your chest).

I'm including links for the videos of what the seats look like. Does anyone know of any new cars that have the older style seats (flat not sloped)?

They are looking for a small car - nothing super fancy or crazy expensive - open to different brands - thanks!

Can't the slope be adjusted for the 2 front seats?

The problem is the seat itself has a slope to it, and they prefer the flat kind. Even with playing with the seat adjustments they are still finding it uncomfortable, because the cushion itself is angled.
