Rear seat was a bit tight for adults, in hindsight we should have bought the Accord. see full Honda Civic review |

Driver seat is uncomfortable. Not upright enough. Not a great seat for correct posture. see full Honda Civic review |

Great front seats, very comfortable. Minimal wind buffeting with the top down. Volvo offered an accessory wind blocker with this model but it's not necessary. Interior trim on the arm rests could be softer. My elbow gets sore resting on the hard plastic. I keep a small fleece pad in the car to solve this little issue. see full Volvo C70 review |
