My over 6 foot tall friends absolutely love my Flex because their knees never touch the backs of the front seats. The rear seat is like sitting in a stretch limo. With plenty of cup holders and storage for all to enjoy. see full Ford Flex review |

The second row seats have limo class legroom and are sofa comfy. The second row screams road trip. The third row seats are ample for cross town trips for adults (6ft folks will fit) and should be no problems for the smaller ones. see full Ford Flex review |

The bench seat is a bit uncomfortable and 2 adults and a booster seat is only really workable for short trips. Leg room is pretty small for big passangers. see full Honda Fit review |

The front seats are very uncomfortable. I would not enjoy taking the Fit on a long drive. The uncomfortable front seats cancel out how amazing the magic seats in back are. see full Honda Fit review |
