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 |

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 |

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 |
TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT
| 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2014 | Like the Elantra Touring which it replaced, the Elantra GT shares few if any visible parts with the Elantra coupe and sedan. Instead, both cars are essentially the European-market Hyundai i30 rebadged and slightly retuned for North American consumption. In Europe, the i30 is offered in two lengths, a hatch and an estate (the Queen's English for "wagon"). With the Elantra Touring, we got the estate. Perhaps because not enough people bought an Elantra Touring, Hyundai decided we'd readily trade functionality for styling. So with the Elantra GT we get the hatchback. While adults no longer have room to stretch, the Elantra GT's rear seat remains roomier than those in the Mazda3 and Ford Focus, but can't quite match the Kia Forte5's interior dimensions. Actually, Mazda claims more rear legroom in its car, but this particular spec seems well out of sync with reality. Even if this wasn't the case, specs aren't everything. Owing to a healthy height off the floor, the Hyundai's rear seat might be the most comfortable in the segment (unless you're tall enough to require more than the modest amount of headroom). A bonus for rear-seat passengers: the Tech Package includes the segment's only panoramic sunroof. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review | |

A comfortable ride. We drove over 500 miles each way on spring break and had no complaints. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review |

Coming from a Volvo the seats are firm in comparison. They aren't the hard pans Honda seems to favor though with good side bolsters, quality cloth that should wear well and decent lumbar support(not adjustable in base). Headrests are adjustable for vertical movement but not forward or back. Driving & Visibility see full Hyundai Elantra GT review |
