2009	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Enough head room for a tall person in front seats. On the Civic, my head was bumping against the visor. However on the FIT the seat height is not adjustable, on the Civic it is. see full Honda Fit review
2009	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	more than double the amount of cargo space than the yaris or scion,and an amazing amount of leg and head room for back seat passengers-even adults! see full Honda Fit review

2010	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Seats were hard and uncomfortable. I would not want to take this car on a long trip. see full Honda Fit review
2010	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The front seats are very uncomfortable. I would not enjoy taking the Fit on a long drive. The uncomfortable front seats cancel out how amazing the magic seats in back are. see full Honda Fit review
2010	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The bench seat is a bit uncomfortable and 2 adults and a booster seat is only really workable for short trips. Leg room is pretty small for big passangers. see full Honda Fit review
2009	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Very good for size of car, but narrow - three across is a squeeze. see full Honda Fit review
2009	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	There's barely any space in the back for a child. see full Honda Fit review
2008	4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Zero lumbar support results in a sore back on longer trips. see full Honda Fit review
2008	4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Small. Ok for 2 kids but not adequate for 3. (or at least my 3...) see full Honda Fit review
2008	4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Smaller than the Scion xB. see full Honda Fit review
2008	4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The seats are reasonably comfortable but there is insufficient lumbar support. If you are middle-aged or older and have lower back trouble you may be uncomfortable on drives over 1-2 hours. There is no height adjustment for the drivers seat. see full Honda Fit review

2006 BMW 5-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 360-horsepower 4.8L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I cannot sit behind me. see full BMW 5-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I'm 5' 9" and the front seat room semed cavernous to me. I once had a 6' 5" passenger in the front seat who voiced no complaint. 10. see full BMW 5-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	My car did not have either the sports seats nor the comfort seats, both of which I tried and found superior; significantly so. The 'base' seats in my car were not the best seats I've ever had in a car although in fairness, they did not punish my lower back as once did the seats in my Infiniti G35x. They were adequate; more an ally than a foe. They also lacked meaningful thigh or side bolsters and so were clearly the choice of Buick-minded buyers, and so did not invite spirited driving. I score thm a 6. see full BMW 5-Series review
