2011 | 4dr Hatch 271-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
I'm tall - 6-6" - and this is the roomiest and most comfortable car I've ever owned. Comparable to a Yukon for a driver. Great room inside at all seating positions for me. see full Honda Crosstour review |

2009 | 2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The car is comfy on long trips, and the seat heaters are super. The car is great with the top down—if you deploy the wind deflector, you don’t get your hair blown all over the place. The faux leather on the seats is fine-- you can only get real leather if you get the LUX model, and then you can’t have a manual transmission. see full Volkswagen Eos review |

Seat is small and okay for short trips. Adults fit okay when the top is down, access is tight witht the top up. see full Volkswagen Eos review |
