2011 Honda Insight Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid
7-speed shiftable CVT FWD
For my 6-3 height, I had plenty of leg room. see full Honda Insight review
2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
The seats are form fitting and feel like sports car seats with a lot of side support and back support. see full Honda Insight review

2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid
7-speed shiftable CVT FWD
Rear seat is super uncomfortable to get in and out of if you are tall. see full Honda Insight review
2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid
7-speed shiftable CVT FWD
For tall people, its a no go. Did not like it one bit and had to think about this short fall if I ever wanted to carry friends. Luckly I normally drive alone see full Honda Insight review
2010 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid
7-speed shiftable CVT FWD
This is a glaring issue with the Insight. Leg room is for children and my head hits the roof and a little bit of the rear hatch. There is a warning sticker about making sure go watch the heads of your rear seat passengers when closing the hatch. see full Honda Insight review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz M-Class

2009 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Bottom seat cushions are long enough for taller drivers. Padding is not too firm or too soft. Excellent support and an upright, easy-chair seating position, instead of having to extend your legs horizontally to get legroom. Results in no low back pain. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
2009 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 382-horsepower 5.5L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD
very still and uncomfortable for long drives see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
