| 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 |

| 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 |

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 |

| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Full sized adults fit well in the rear seat. 2 of them. see full Scion xB review |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
This car is like an optical illusion - it's SOOO much bigger on the inside than it seems like from the outside! Riding in it feels more like riding in a minivan than a car. My husband is over 6' tall, and he can sit comfortably in the driver's seat with plenty of room above his head. At the same time, my son (also over 6' tall) can sit comfortably behind him with plenty of room for his knees. When my kids were younger, we fit three of them in the back, and often went on long trips (5-6 hrs in the car) with no problems. Our luggage even fit in the back! see full Scion xB review |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
It is so comfortable for tall people, with plenty of legroon. see full Scion xB review |

More rear legroom than a BMW 7 series !!! Tall people are more than comfortable in the back seat see full Scion xB review |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Gigantic rear seats. 6+ foot tall passengers can seat in the back without their knees touching the front seatbacks. Cargo capacity is also most impressive for such compact exterior dimensions. see full Scion xB review |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The seats are very comfortable for a vehicle as inexpensive as this. see full Scion xB review |

There is tons of room in this car! It almost seems bigger on the inside than the car is on the outside. see full Scion xB review |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I have 3 kids, ages 15, 13, and 7, and they have all kinds of leg room in the back seat of this car. It's almost as much as a minivan. All 3 can ride comfortably in the back for up to an hour or so. Another 2 inches or so of width would make it ideal, even for longer trips. see full Scion xB review |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
There is enough room in the rear seat for two large men to sit comfortably or, in my case, two car seats for my children. see full Scion xB review |
