2008 4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4

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

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

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

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

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

Space is limited for adults in the back espically if the front passenger is tall. Seats are not bucket like the front so if driver takes a hard turn you go flying. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
