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 |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |

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 |

| 2009 Saab 9-5 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 220hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
Most car seats can be comfortable for a 1 hour drive. Few can be comfortable for a 4 hour drive. Luckily the Saab seats fall into the latter category. see full Saab 9-5 review |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very comfortable even with rear facing car seat behind either driver or passenger seat. Head room was good even with moon roof. see full Saab 9-5 review |
