2013 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2013 | Interior dimensions haven't changed, so the 2013 Civic continues to have one of the segment's roomiest rear seats (though not in the same league as the VW Jetta). A barely there floor hump and a broad cushy center seat render the Civic more capable than most compact sedans of seating three adults, though the rear cushion is somewhat low and hip room is in short supply. You'll find more shoulder room but less rear legroom in the Dart's back seat. Midsize sedans often don't offer much more rear legroom, but their seats tend to be more comfortably positioned. see full Honda Civic review |

The front seats offer very good support and the seat bottoms are designed for tall drivers.. see full Chevrolet Volt review |

Rear seat is adequate, but it is difficult to install or remove a child seat. The cushion is too firm to make this easy. see full Chevrolet Volt review |

The car is only a four seter so there is no room if you have five people and with the front seats back all the way it is a little tight. see full Chevrolet Volt review |

The rear seats have limited leg room. A forward facing child car seat (Safety 1st Air Protect) is fine but to install it rear facing would make the passenger seat almost unusable and being a 4 seat there is no option to install in the middle of the rear which i find allows in many cars a good way to keep everyone safe & comfortable. see full Chevrolet Volt review |

Front seats are semi-hard and covered in strange material. I could see people larger than myself having issues with them. see full Chevrolet Volt review |

No power seat in a $46k car?? Get real, Chevy. Once you get used to them, though, both front and rear seats are comfortable for up to an hour or so. Longer than that and I need different lower back support that it doesn't have. But they are heated which is nice and it's comfortable leather. A few tweaks and/or an optional chair & this would be a non-issue. see full Chevrolet Volt review |
