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

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
