2018 Elantra GT Sport Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Perhaps the best attribute of the reviewed car's grandpappy, the Hyundai Elantra Touring, was an outstanding driving position. Tall windows. Relatively shallow instrument panel. Thinnish pillars. The view from the driver seat inspired confidence. With the first Elantra GT, Hyundai sacrificed this strength on the alter of futuristic styling.... Comparison vehicle: 2017 Honda Civic |

2014 Kia Forte SX Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Forte Koup SX might seem sportier if its driving position were a little lower. As is, you sit quite high for a coupe. (I might have minded this driving position less in the hatchback.) On the flip side, this position well above the Kia's less massive instrument panel benefits...

EX Mustang Owner now owns a CIVIC SI 2013 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member538 As I take long trips, I am slightly over 6ft tall, I can tell you, the seats are comfortable. My back does not tire, there are no aches and pains. Coming from a Mustang which does not have a telescoping steering wheel, I appreciate this feature. Great visibility, no real... |

2013 Honda Civic Si Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Hondas used to be renowned for their fantastically low instrument panels, and the outstanding forward visibility these enabled. So I'm more critical of the tall, deep, bi-level instrument panel in recent Civics than I might be in other cars. The view forward is better than might be expected given the...

2013 Nissan Sentra SL Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Sentra's driving position could also be better. Even with the driver seat in its lowest position you sit too high. And yet forward visibility is only good rather than great because the instrument panel is taller than most. Rearward visibility is limited (if no more than in many cars...

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Despite the sleek, futuristic exterior, the Veloster's windshield is more upright than many these days. The view forward from the driver seat is pretty open. But the view to the rear quarters--there isn't any. If two roads merge at an angle well under 90 degrees, you'll want someone in the...

2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons mpaisis Because of the long windshield the visibility is great! |
|
2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member3853 The extreme rake to the windshield makes entering and exiting difficult for short drivers. Too easy to miss bikes and motorcycles for same reason. |
|
2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons A member in New Jersey, United States There is a deceptively HUGE blind spot due to the exterior styling. |
|
2008 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member1101 Comparatively, seating is lower & longer sight over the hood & front bumpers/corner. The box shape of the Versa worked better for me as I prefer that sit-up straight & look straight, driving positions instead of reclining back with arms over extended. |
|
2009 Honda Civic Pros and Cons A member in New York, United States Best drivers seating position & controls by far compared to any other small car. Dashboard style (speedo) is lame, but other controls are great. |

2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member3017 Excellent |
|
2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member2940 Extremely comfortable on long trips. Great visibility all around, telescoping wheel, and supportive seats make it easy to find the perfect seating position. |

2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member1156 Tilt and telescopic steering wheel with lost of seat adjustments allow you to find a comfortable position |
|
2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member1876 Great seats. Height adjustment allows it to fit different drivers. |
|
2002 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member533 Low chair position compared to the Focus-did not feel centered when seated behind the wheel. |
