Tons of room in the front seat. I am tall and I still have the seat adjusted in the middle, not all the way back, with lots of head room and leg room to spare. The passenger side is even better. see full Chrysler 300 review |

The back seats have just as much room as the front seats. They fit the whole family with no problems, and you can even pick up the in-laws and they will fit back there perfectly. see full Chrysler 300 review |

Lots of room in the front, heated front seats and a nice comfy seat. Just returned from a 7 hour trip in the car and not once did i feel uncomfortable. see full Chrysler 300 review |

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 |
