Seat bottoms are typical Japanese style short bottomed and not conducive to long duration drives. see full Honda Fit review

One more thing. Rear seat comfort was obviously not a big selling point, nor a necessary feature. But one piece of it was worse than it had to be: the rear seat headrests. The artful circular shape and limited adjustment made the rear seats even harder to use; the headrest would tend to jab passengers in their spine. A better solution which was more even with the seat back would really have helped here. see full Honda Fit review

2009 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
A lot less leg room when compared to the GTI, but the rear hatch space is bigger. see full Audi A3 review
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
Really just a 4 place vehicle...3 across in the rear is not comfortably possible. see full Audi A3 review
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
Slightly too close to each other in arm room. see full Audi A3 review
2007 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
The back seat is too small for most adults. I hadn't thought about it much when I bought the car, but it became apparent. I'd take friends to lunch and they are uncomfortable.Even ifa personplans on sitting small children in the back, they grow and the useful life of the car is affected. I wish the Europeans would figure that out. see full Audi A3 review
2007 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
Due to the position of the doors it is hard to get in and out of the car. see full Audi A3 review
