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 |

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 |

The captains chairs in the second row can be apart or together. It is easy to get to the third row seat. There is plenty of leg room in the second and third row seats, and plenty of room between the second row seats. see full Honda Odyssey review |

No back support, no thigh support. Seat headrests curve your spine forward. Seat shape was not the same for all four captain chairs. Quality control must be very poor. see full Honda Odyssey review |
2006 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Worst driver seat ever--both bottom and back are poorly shaped. Cannot drive more than a few minutes without pain--so have modified with air cushion and pillows, but only partially mitigates. see full Honda Odyssey review |
