| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 262-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
Plenty of room in the first and second rows. The third row will fit an adult, but is better for the kids. see full Ford Flex review |

My over 6 foot tall friends absolutely love my Flex because their knees never touch the backs of the front seats. The rear seat is like sitting in a stretch limo. With plenty of cup holders and storage for all to enjoy. see full Ford Flex review |

The second row seats have limo class legroom and are sofa comfy. The second row screams road trip. The third row seats are ample for cross town trips for adults (6ft folks will fit) and should be no problems for the smaller ones. see full Ford Flex review |

| 2010 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 355hp 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Took awhile to think of something that could be improved but a bit larger area in the front drivers footwell would be appreciated. That's about it. see full Ford Flex review |

| 2013 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Seat bottoms are typical Japanese style short bottomed and not conducive to long duration drives. see full Honda Fit review |
| 2013 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
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 |
