The seats are just more comfortable. see full Honda Fit review |

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 |

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 |

little lumbar support see full Honda Fit review |

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 |

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 |

There's barely any space in the back for a child. see full Honda Fit review |

Zero lumbar support results in a sore back on longer trips. see full Honda Fit review |

Small. Ok for 2 kids but not adequate for 3. (or at least my 3...) see full Honda Fit review |

Smaller than the Scion xB. see full Honda Fit review |

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 |

| 2012 | 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Although the rear captain seats are quite comfortable, I do not like how they roll forward. There is a track in the floor in which the rear seats fold and slide up behind the front seats. All I notice when in the back seat is how extremely difficult it is to clean out the mud and grit and salt (I live in Canada, we use salt on our roads) that gets left behind in the track from passenger footwear. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |

The headrest position is horrible for long trips. Felt like my head was being pushed forward. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |
