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

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Scion FR-S

2014 Scion FR-S Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
2013	Unlike a Mazda Miata or Nissan 370Z, the FR-S has a rear seat. But even a driver of middling height will position the front seat just inches away from the rear seat, leaving too little room for a rear passenger's legs. It would help if there was enough space beneath the front seats for the rear passengers' feet, but there isn't. To even carry children in the back, occupants of the front seats must slide forward. The back seat will serve in a pinch, but the FR-S isn't viable for frequent use by four people. The late, lamented Mazda RX-8 was capable of carrying four adults thanks more intelligent packaging. see full Scion FR-S review

2014 Scion FR-S Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	2dr Coupe 200-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed manual RWD	Although form-fitting, the seats are incredibly comfortable, even for the big and tall crowd. The car fits like a bespoke suit. The back seat is suitable only for toddlers. see full Scion FR-S review

2014 Scion FR-S Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	2dr Coupe 200-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed manual RWD	Again, if your metric includes back seats, forget it. These are only here for insurance purposes. Seriously. see full Scion FR-S review
2013	2dr Coupe 200-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed manual RWD	If you are a larger person walk right by it, i'm only slightly above average (5-11, 190) and just wearing a coat can make for a tight fit. But if you do fit you can drive it for hours no problem. see full Scion FR-S review
