There is plenty of leg room and being a large person you are not crammed into the front seat while in th car and because of the ample room getting in and out of the car is easy. see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review |

Leg room is cramped if the front seats are adjusted all the way back and the seat is considerably harder than the front seats. see full Chrysler PT Cruiser review |

Good lumbar and side support, nicely adjustable seat and wheel. Shifter is very close to the wheel. Fits me like a glove, but my wife does find the seatback slightly tall. see full Honda Civic review |

It took me a long time to find a comfortable driving position in this car. It may because of the low seat. I was finally (mostly) successful, but it took a long time to find it, and it is very different than my typical driving position. Also, not great on long trips -- the seat is generally supportive, but it starts to break down a few hours in. see full Honda Civic review |

No access from trunk area. Also, very strong chemical smell in vehicle...off gassing from fabrics. The prius did not have near the smell. see full Honda Civic review |
