Enough roon for a big guy like me to be totally comfortable. No having to hold my legs in an odd position, like one of my past cars, or put my left arm in an uncomfortable spot to be able to relax it. Having big feet makes many cars torture devices. see full Dodge Charger review |

I have three pre-teen kids and they love it. No fighting like in our Accord. see full Dodge Charger review |

The seats are very firm, but you get out after a three-hour drive without limping and hating your car. Lots of room; commanding sense of being in control. This car just feels good - the main reason I bought it. see full Dodge Charger review |

The back seat is as comfortable as the fronts with enough leg room to actually cross your legs. It seems limousine-like for space. see full Dodge Charger review |

VERY roomy. I am a big guy (just over 6 feet and 300lbs) and I am very comfortable in this car. It has almost as much room up front as my 1966 Impala! see full Dodge Charger review |
2017 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2016 | From the driver seat the new Honda Civic feels especially roomy. Appearances aren't deceiving: the car has an inch or two more front shoulder room than most other small sedans, and about as much as you'll find in some midsize sedans. On paper the Mazda3 has as much shoulder room, but it feels narrower. Some competitors feel much narrower. In comparison, the new Civic's driving position seems like that of a midsize car. In terms of specs, the Civic's rear seat is also roomier than most others. Owing to a somewhat low cushion and scant toe room beneath the front seats, though, I found it less comfortable than some others. The Elantra isn't among these others. Its rear seat cushion is also too close to the floor to provide thigh support, plus its rear seat back is reclined too much for my taste. Even so, rear headroom is limited. The new Civic's trunk can also hold more than the class average. see full Honda Civic review |

Unlike in the Hyundai and Mazda, in the new Honda Civic the lumbar bulge cannot be adjusted. I didn't mind the Touring's front seats. Perhaps my spine was unusually flexible the day I drove it. Or perhaps the cloth seats are slightly different. Whatever the reason, for my upright build the Civic EX's lumbar bulge and headrest both jut too far forward. If your body shape differs from mine, your impressions of the seats might as well. But for years I've heard more complaints about Honda's seats than others. Try extensively before you buy. see full Honda Civic review |
