Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Honda HR-V

2017 Honda HR-V Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	Also like the Fit, the Honda HR-V leads its class in rear seat spaciousness. with a large-sedan-like 39.3 inches of legroom to the Chevrolet Trax's still adult-worthy 35.7. Rear headroom is ample in both pint-sized crossovers. Given the ability to carry four adults with room to spare, it's no surprise that many people are deciding that they don't need a larger vehicle. see full Honda HR-V review

2017 Honda HR-V Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	I hear more complaints about uncomfortable seats from Honda owners than from those of any other brand. The seats in compact Hondas also happen to be among my least favorite. Those in the HR-V, like the similar seats in the Fit, have a headrest and fixed lumbar bulge that jut too far forward for my personal build. The Trax seats also have a somewhat intrusive headrest, but a power-adjustable lumbar bulge. Try either out extensively before you buy to avoid an unpleasant surprise after the fact. see full Honda HR-V review
