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

Driver seat is uncomfortable. Not upright enough. Not a great seat for correct posture. see full Honda Civic review |

The front seats are horrible- similar to airline seats, and no amount of adjusting or adding cushions helped. I'm 6'2 and my wife is 5'3.and neither of us could get comfortable. After 2 weeks, it was actually painful to drive this car. see full Ford Taurus review |

Not enough headroom for adults in the rear seat. Seat comfort is as poor as the front seats. see full Ford Taurus review |
