Enough head room for a tall person in front seats. On the Civic, my head was bumping against the visor. However on the FIT the seat height is *not* adjustable, on the Civic it is. see full Honda Fit review

little lumbar support see full Honda Fit review

Seats were hard and uncomfortable. I would not want to take this car on a long trip. see full Honda Fit review
2010 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
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
2010 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
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

5-speed manual FWD
Very good for size of car, but narrow - three across is a squeeze. see full Honda Fit review

There's barely any space in the back for a child. see full Honda Fit review

Zero lumbar support results in a sore back on longer trips. see full Honda Fit review

Small. Ok for 2 kids but not adequate for 3. (or at least my 3...) see full Honda Fit review

5-speed manual FWD
The seats are reasonably comfortable but there is insufficient lumbar support. If you are middle-aged or older and have lower back trouble you may be uncomfortable on drives over 1-2 hours. There is no height adjustment for the drivers seat. see full Honda Fit review
