TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Honda Civic

2016 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

2016 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	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

2006 Audi A4 / S4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD	Great when I can take my husband and teenagers up to the mountains for a ski trip without any major complaints. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2007	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Excellent for cruising but lateral support is sorely lacking for cornering. Needs power & memory for the tilt/telescope steering wheel. Good view out of and around vehicle. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Lots of room. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2005	4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD	These are the most comfortable and supportive seats I have ever sat in and this includes luxury cars like the Lincoln Town Car. The extendable thigh support is a bonus. see full Audi A4 / S4 review

2006 Audi A4 / S4 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	OK for kids, not really on for adults for a long journey. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD	What room? What comfort? Tight and cramped and incredibly firm. Zero leg room for average height adults. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2007	2dr Convertible turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Center console protrudes into the leg area while gas pedal is far over to the right. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2007	2dr Convertible turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Rear seats are really only good for children and pets. A grown person could never sit back there. This is expected for a convertible though. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2007	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Limited leg room, especially during ingress and egress. Hump bisects leg room. Seat cushion needs to be 1-2 inches higher. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	small rear seat like the 3 series see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Back seat leg room and head room is pretty small. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD	Sport seats were not provided to the US due to DOT crash testing regulations. This means the only seats available are the very flat and uncomfortable standard seats. Only the S4 has the Recaro option for the US. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD	For tall passengers, the front seats will need to be pushed back in order to provide front leg room. Width of the cockpit side-to-side is not substantial. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed manual AWD	not a lot of rear seat leg room, esp if tall person in front seats see full Audi A4 / S4 review
