Rear-facing child seat fits inside with room to spare for the front seats. Easier to get in and out of (and get children in and out of) than larger cars due to design of the body and door. see full Honda Fit review |

No seat height adjustment makes my bad back scream on longer drives. No lumbar support. 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 |

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

No dead pedal. Awkward accelerator pedal. see full Honda Fit review |

We don't think there would be room for two rear-facing car seats in the back, and I frequently have to sit in the back to let larger people sit in the front seat. see full Honda Fit review |

| 2016 Honda Fit Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| The new Honda Fit's first row has a a few more inches of elbow room than those in the Versa Note and Fiesta. Consequently, it feels like a larger car--unless you also need leg room. Then it's no better than the Nissan. Drivers with long legs will wish the front seat could slide back farther--but this would cramp the magic style of the rear seat. Even drivers of middling height (e.g. me) might find the driver seat uncomfortable. The headrest and non-adjustable lumbar bulge both jut well forward. Depending on your personal size and shape, this might or might not be an issue. Pay close attention before you buy. see full Honda Fit review | ||
