YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 2dr Coupe 197-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD
great support. the sides basically hold you - which is important because the car can generate serious g-forces going around corners see full Honda Civic review
2007 4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD
Frankly, the best seats I have sat in outside of a couple BMW Ms. Supportive, well bolstered with good lateral support. Also good support for the lower back for long drives. see full Honda Civic review

I fit pretty nicely in the civic without completing eliminating the backseat behind me. see full Honda Civic review
2005 4dr Sedan 115-horsepower 1.7L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
I have driven for as long as 12 hours in one sitting behind the wheel (only getting out for gas) and it felt fine. It is a firmer seat then some luxury cars, but for the economy level cars, it is a great seat. see full Honda Civic review

2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid

For tall people, its a no go. Did not like it one bit and had to think about this short fall if I ever wanted to carry friends. Luckly I normally drive alone see full Honda Insight review
2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid
7-speed shiftable CVT FWD
This is a glaring issue with the Insight. Leg room is for children and my head hits the roof and a little bit of the rear hatch. There is a warning sticker about making sure go watch the heads of your rear seat passengers when closing the hatch. see full Honda Insight review
