2016 Chevrolet Trax Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	There's much more room inside the Trax than many people expect given its compact exterior. At 5-9, I could sit behind myself with a few inches of knee room to spare. But if the people in the front seats are taller than me, those in the back seat better be shorter. The Renegade and 500X have about the same amount of rear knee room as the Trax. They have a couple inches more shoulder room, though, so fitting three people in back is a little less of a squeeze. (It will still help if they enjoy physical contact with one another.) The Honda HR-V isn't wider, but does have a few more inches of rear legroom. On the other hand, the rear seats in the Nissan JUKE and MINI Countryman are tighter than that in the Trax. see full Chevrolet Trax review

2009 Honda CR-V Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	The caravan style arm rests are ugly but extremely comfortable. see full Honda CR-V review
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Very comfortable to enter and exit. Very comfortable to sit in for long trips. see full Honda CR-V review
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Looking for familly smallish SUV and our other option was a RAV-4, the CR-V felt like it had better hip and leg room in the rear. see full Honda CR-V review

2009 Honda CR-V Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	Could not find a comfortable position, even with a power seat. see full Honda CR-V review
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Roomy enough, but materials feel cheap. Bench is very thin and hard on long trip. Good leg room, but overall not as nicely done as the VW Tiguan. see full Honda CR-V review
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	Seats need another couple of inches of depth to provide anyone over six feet tall with proper thigh support. A little on the firm side after a couple of hours. Could also be improved with better lateral support. Not a deal breaker unless you expect a Volvo type lounger. see full Honda CR-V review
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	In typical Japanese Small Car fashion, the front seats have very little thigh support for a 5ft 10inch person. The back support and position can be quite painful over 500 or more miles. This marred the ownership experience see full Honda CR-V review
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Headrest could not be adjusted comfortably. see full Honda CR-V review
