10/26/16	2016 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member338 only the near-top end model has heated seats and power adjustable seats, and there is no option for memory settings, which is a big deal for multiple drivers of one vehicle.
05/16/16 5 comments	2016 Honda Civic Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Unlike in the Hyundai and Mazda, in the new Honda Civic the lumbar bulge cannot be adjusted. I didn't mind the Touring's front seats. Perhaps my spine was unusually flexible the day I drove it. Or perhaps the cloth seats are slightly different. Whatever the reason, for my upright build... Comparison vehicle: 2017 Hyundai Elantra
03/21/16 1 comment	2016 Nissan Sentra Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Different people are shaped and sized differently and so will have different impressions of a given car seat. I found the Nissan Sentra's revised seats uncomfortable. A power lumbar adjustment has been added. But this was of no use, as even when minimized the lumbar bulge is overly prominent for... Comparison vehicle: 2016 Honda Civic
02/27/16	Great car overall, be careful if it snows where you live. 2008 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member6467 It took me a long time to find a comfortable driving position in this car. It may because of the low seat. I was finally (mostly) successful, but it took a long time to find it, and it is very different than my typical driving position. Also, not great...
03/04/15	Not bad, but not great. Wishing it was more comfortable. 2009 Honda Civic Pros and Cons MDooner Driver seat is uncomfortable. Not upright enough. Not a great seat for correct posture.

11/24/14 2 comments	2014 Kia Forte SX Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh And the driver seat? My notes describe it as "okay." The Civic Si's more aggressively bolstered, cloth-trimmed bucket provides more lateral support in hard turns. You'll find comfortably upholstered arm rests on the doors in both cars. Comparison vehicle: 2014 Honda Civic
08/07/13 1 comment	2013 Honda Civic Si Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh You can't get leather upholstery in the Civic Si, but the standard cloth is so attractive and grippy that you won't miss it. (Hopefully you also won't miss seat heaters.) Combine this cloth with firm, properly spaced side bolsters, and the Civic Si's front buckets provide much better lateral support... Comparison vehicle: 2012 Volkswagen Jetta
04/21/13	2013 Nissan Sentra SL Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Nissan Sentra offers a smooth, quiet ride and about as much passenger (and cargo) room as you'll find in a compact sedan. Open the door, and the SL's leather-trimmed interior appears luxurious. Sit down, though, and the illusion crumbles. Unlike those in the Altima, the Sentra's flat, firm seats... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Honda Civic
10/29/12	Good dependable economy car. 2003 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member5607 Front seat comfort is fair. There's good side support. But the lumbar support is too high for someone short like me. I've added a but cushon so the bulge hits the right part of my back. It also helps me sit higher for better visibility, and adds comfort for long...
02/27/12	2002 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member5459 definitely not comfortable, and for someone with back problems this is a major influence.

10/03/11	2008 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member4608 very poor AC performance during hot weather
03/31/11	2011 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member733 The seats fit me perfectly.
12/10/10	2008 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member4913 Seats were rock hard(in summer)
06/25/10	2004 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member4531
05/26/10	2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member1118 Frankly, the best seats I have sat in outside of a couple BMW Ms. Supportive, well bolstered with good lateral support. Also good support for the lower back for long drives.
05/06/10	2006 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member4395 Perfect fit for me! Very comfortable
01/29/10	2009 Honda Civic Pros and Cons A member in Texas, United States
11/22/09	2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member3853 All cars sold in northern climes should have heated seats at least optional.
06/09/09	2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member3371 Active headrest was and is too far forward for comfort. This casues headaches for some people - incldung my wife.
05/27/09	2008 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member3334
05/07/09	2008 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member2250 Good lumbar and side support, nicely adjustable seat and wheel. Shifter is very close to the wheel. Fits me like a glove, but my wife does find the seatback slightly tall.
04/16/09	2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member423 great support. the sides basically hold you - which is important because the car can generate serious g-forces going around corners
02/24/09	2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member3017 Seat needs an adjustable lumber support.
10/31/08	2005 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member2738 I have driven for as long as 12 hours in one sitting behind the wheel (only getting out for gas) and it felt fine. It is a firmer seat then some luxury cars, but for the economy level cars, it is a great seat.
