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

2017 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
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
YearComment
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

2007 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Very comfortable, firm seating,even after very long drives. The combination of lumbar support and heat leaves me refreshed after eight- and nine-hour drives. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review

I could fall asleep in this thing. Great seat heaters and adjustability. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2005 4dr Sedan 302-horsepower 5.0L V8

The seat room for front passengers is excellent, and there is still enough room for rear passengers. We had an Acura TL before, and it was far less roomy than the E500. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
