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 |

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 |

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 |

2012 | Adults won't have any room to spare in the i-MiEV's back seat, but they will fit. This counts as a strength for the same reason ride smoothness and exterior styling do. see full Mitsubishi i-MiEV review |

The front seats are very close together. And, even after adding an inch for the North American car, your shoulder is quite close to the B-pillar. Anything else with four doors is much roomier inside. see full Mitsubishi i-MiEV review |

Has a lot of interior room for the exterior size. It has more than enough legroom for my 12-13 year old kids. see full Mitsubishi i-MiEV review |
