TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Honda Civic

2017 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

2017 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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Honda Odyssey

2011 Honda Odyssey Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	The Odyssey has the best seat setup of any minivan on the market, by a large margin. Standard 8th seat, which is usable, easy to flip the 3rd row, adjustable 2nd row without floor rails to collect debris from kiddos. see full Honda Odyssey review
2011	4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 6-speed automatic FWD	Nice and roomy 2nd row, we really like the Wide mode seating. Very nice 3rd row usable by adults. see full Honda Odyssey review

2011 Honda Odyssey Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	The seats are still more thinly padded than the competition - and the third row seat angle is merely adequate. My mother in law noted that our Ody 3rd row is really like a standard seat - not "3rd class" - but the Pacifica made her feel like she was "stuck in the back". see full Honda Odyssey review
2010	0	Just acceptable. see full Honda Odyssey review
2010	0	These seats kill both my wife and my back on long trips. see full Honda Odyssey review
