the 7 seater option is great and it has room for the kids...did not buy it for room for extra adults so the slightly smaller 6-7 seats work perfectly for me. That being said, its very comfortable 2 and 3rd row seats. see full Acura MDX review |

For tall people, its a no go. Did not like it one bit and had to think about this short fall if I ever wanted to carry friends. Luckly I normally drive alone see full Honda Insight review |

This is a glaring issue with the Insight. Leg room is for children and my head hits the roof and a little bit of the rear hatch. There is a warning sticker about making sure go watch the heads of your rear seat passengers when closing the hatch. see full Honda Insight review |
