2012 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2013 | Interior dimensions haven't changed, so the 2013 Civic continues to have one of the segment's roomiest rear seats (though not in the same league as the VW Jetta). A barely there floor hump and a broad cushy center seat render the Civic more capable than most compact sedans of seating three adults, though the rear cushion is somewhat low and hip room is in short supply. You'll find more shoulder room but less rear legroom in the Dart's back seat. Midsize sedans often don't offer much more rear legroom, but their seats tend to be more comfortably positioned. see full Honda Civic review |

Rear seat was a bit tight for adults, in hindsight we should have bought the Accord. see full Honda Civic review |

Major seven hour trip in total comfort for both of us. Not one ache or pain or "I gotta get out of this car" see full Buick Regal review |

Since the car came from Opel (EU), it is naturally made for smaller fold. The rear is comfortable, just a little lacking in legroom at times. see full Buick Regal review |
