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

2009	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Driver seat is uncomfortable. Not upright enough. Not a great seat for correct posture. 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 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
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

2009	4dr Sedan 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	This the best point of this car. The leather, from Scotland, is the best I have experienced in a car... And the room is such that my 6 foot son feels separate from me when along for the drive. see full Lincoln MKS review
2009	4dr Sedan 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Front seats are the most comfortable ones I have sat in, the lumbar adjustment is great, not only goes in and out ( harder / softer ), it also has an adjustment for up aand down. see full Lincoln MKS review
2009	4dr Sedan 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Honeslty hard to explain. My kids feel like they are on a couch. Heated. see full Lincoln MKS review
