2016 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 |
2016 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 |

2011 Volkswagen Jetta Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |
This vehicle was intended to be the "Mommy Mobile". My wife also likes to drive most of the time in "Her Car". I am 6 ft 205 lb; with my 22 month old daughter in a forward facing car seat, I feel I have to pull my seat some what forward to allow her room. This makes my knees kinda touch the glove box. It really only is a problem if shes is fussy, and does not want anything near her. (Instead of hearing her fuss I move it....sometimes.) see full Volkswagen Jetta review |

2011 | 4dr Sedan 115-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
While the Jetta is extremely roomy and comfortable, the center console is slightly too close and can interfere with the driver's right knee and calf. see full Volkswagen Jetta review |

The rear seat is a little small but compared to other compact cars it is not bad, Still cramped if your over 6 feet. see full Volkswagen Jetta review |
