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 |

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 |
| 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 |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
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 |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
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 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT
| 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| The front seats are comfortable and supportive in both cars, with Hyundai's likely agreeable for a wider range of body sizes and types. And the rear seat? Here we have another area where the Elantra Touring excelled, but neither Elantra GT has. The culprit this time isn't design, but a decision by those who make the big bucks at the corporate level. Hyundai offers Europeans the i30 (the same car with a different model name) in two lengths. These are marketed as a hatchback and as an estate or touring or tourer or kombi or whatever other label might help sell what Americans call station wagons. With the Elantra Touring, we got the latter, and consequently far more rear seat room and cargo carrying capacity than in any other compact hatchback. But we didn't buy the car. So with the first and second Elantra GT we've been getting the much less lengthy, more athletically proportioned hatchback. As it stands (or rather, sits), the Elantra GT's rear seat shouldn't be condemned as useless unless you're a driver of above-average height with similarly sized passsengers. At 5-9, I fit behind a driver seat set for myself with perhaps three inches between my knees and the seat back and about a half-inch to spare between the top of my head and the headliner (in a two-pedal Elantra GT with the optional sunroof). But people even a couple inches taller than me will feel cramped. The rear seats in the GTI and Civic are roomier. One plus in the Elantra GT's column: its rear seat passengers get air vents. The Civic's don't. In terms of cargo space the Elantra GT is more competitive, but nothing special the way it was with the Elantra Touring. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review | ||
