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

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great - lots of leg room and very adjustable see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2011	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Rear seat slides 8" forward and back. In the back position, excellent leg room for adults. When slid forward, good rear cargo room. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2011	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It gets more comfortable the more I drive and I do take long drives at times see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2011	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I have two children and they can ride back there comfortablely see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2011	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Just might be enough for a 7 footer. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Front seat comfort and room is great. Driver side lumbar support continues to work great. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	We really like the track sliding nature of the rear seat. Give passengers in the back plenty of leg room. Also, the large rear doors make it quite easy for our aging parents to get in and out of this vehicle. This feature, more than any other, really "sold" us on the Chevy Equinox. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The equinox was one of the very few cars that could swallow both a double stroller and two infant seats with ease. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

2011 Chevrolet Equinox Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Front seats are not very supportive, and you sink down into them see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I like the firmness of the front seats, but others may have an issue with it. Seat width leans to the narrow side however, and shoulder room is merely adequate. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Rear seat legroom is phenominal (and one of the big reasons I chose the Equinox) when you slide it all the way back. This is the first vehicle I've owned where you can fit 4 6'+ people without anyone having to readjust their seats or compromise in any way. The rear seats also recline to a small degree which is an added bonus. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
