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

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

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2021 Toyota Highlander

2021 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
With each redesign (for 2008, 2014, and 2020) Toyota has enlarged the Highlander, yet the crossover's third-row seat remains uncomforably low and tight. For adults to be even passably comfortable in the way-back the second row must be slid forward, rendering legroom there also marginal. Some three-row crossovers have much roomier and more comfortable third-row seats. But if you want to be able to squeeze in eight people, Highlanders with a second-row bench can do this. Because they have significantly narrower third-row seats, the Ford Explorer and Kia Sorento cannot fit three people back there even in a pinch, so in hybrid form the former has a maximum capacity of seven people and the latter only six. (The Sorento PHEV will be able to seat seven.) This noted, if you want your adult passengers to have plenty of room, the practical capacity of each is four people. see full Toyota Highlander review

The 3rd row seating is just not for adults at all, and I'm not certain that children would be easy to fit back there as well. I'm not sure what Toyota was thinking, even making the 2020 longer didn't make any difference at all. My one complaint is it is just TOO SMALL! see full Toyota Highlander review
