The best in this category (when you take into consideration the size of the trunk). see full Honda Fit review
2012 Honda Fit Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2013 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4

Seat bottoms are typical Japanese style short bottomed and not conducive to long duration drives. see full Honda Fit review

One more thing. Rear seat comfort was obviously not a big selling point, nor a necessary feature. But one piece of it was worse than it had to be: the rear seat headrests. The artful circular shape and limited adjustment made the rear seats even harder to use; the headrest would tend to jab passengers in their spine. A better solution which was more even with the seat back would really have helped here. see full Honda Fit review
