What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2007 Honda Civic

2007 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	unbelievable much room on the rear seats see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Good lumbar and side support, nicely adjustable seat and wheel. Shifter is very close to the wheel. Fits me like a glove, but my wife does find the seatback slightly tall. see full Honda Civic review
2007	2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	very comfortable to drive see full Honda Civic review
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
2006	4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	I fit pretty nicely in the civic without completing eliminating the backseat behind me. see full Honda Civic review
2006	2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Perfect fit for me! Very comfortable see full Honda Civic review

2007 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	No access from trunk area. Also, very strong chemical smell in vehicle...off gassing from fabrics. The prius did not have near the smell. see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Seats were rock hard(in summer) see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	very poor AC performance during hot weather see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	not able to fit a rear facing child seat, or very difficult to fit it. we had to even find a small size one. see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	It took me a long time to find a comfortable driving position in this car. It may because of the low seat. I was finally (mostly) successful, but it took a long time to find it, and it is very different than my typical driving position. Also, not great on long trips -- the seat is generally supportive, but it starts to break down a few hours in. see full Honda Civic review
2007	4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	Rear seat does not fold down see full Honda Civic review
2007	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	merely adequate although better than in the past see full Honda Civic review
2007	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	merely adequate, seats could have more support see full Honda Civic review
2007	4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Seat needs an adjustable lumber support. see full Honda Civic review
2007	2dr Coupe 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	back seat? maybe for a child on a short trip. see full Honda Civic review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	2dr Coupe 348-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed manual RWD	Driving position w/ power seat is excellent. More than adequate headroom for an average sized person. Passenger seat rides lower. Instrumentation is clear and logical, though two of the three gauges on the console are silly at best: while Oil Temp is good to know, Torque and MPG gauges are totally unnecessary. An ammeter, voltmeter, coolant temp, or oil pressure gauges would be preferable to those two gimmicks. The Track model has "everything" except memory seats/mirrors, a power passenger seat, a lock on the glove box, and a rear camera. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review
2013	2dr Coupe 348-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed manual RWD	The seats are good for only animals and small children.The trunk is huge, but the opening is small. The back seat folds down. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review
2011	2dr Coupe turbocharged 210hp 2.0L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Again, this car is a perfect fit for my body. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review

2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	2dr Coupe turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual RWD	There is very little headroom in the rear. Anyone over 5'3" is going to have their head either touching or nearly touching the roof/rear glass. Pretty much anyone over 5'7" is going to have to cock their head to the side. The rear seat has decent leg room behind my seat (I am 5'11"). Access is also decent for a 2-door due to the long doors. see full Hyundai Genesis Coupe review
