2007	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	The leather front drivers seat and passenger is very comfortable,much more so then my 2002 Honda accord se. The leather is cold in the winter but the heated seats help a lot. see full Honda CR-V review

2007 Honda CR-V Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
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
2007	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	Extremely cramped for me - just hated the interior and could not get past the legroom see full Honda CR-V review
2007	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	No room for other passengers with a baby seat in the middle. see full Honda CR-V review

2008	4dr Sedan 382-horsepower 5.5L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The most comfortable seats among all its rivals including Lexus, Jaguar, BMW, Audi, and Infiniti.

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 382-horsepower 5.5L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The back seat is very comfortable and provides good headroom and seating support. They fold down to provide additional storage room. My complaint is that it is not S class roomy in the back. Leg and foot room can be limited if sitting behind a tall driver see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
