Comfortable seating position. see full Honda Odyssey review |

The captains chairs in the second row can be apart or together. It is easy to get to the third row seat. There is plenty of leg room in the second and third row seats, and plenty of room between the second row seats. see full Honda Odyssey review |

Split 3rd row is great (3 kids) - access is great. 2nd row bucket seats are easy to access and very comfortable. see full Honda Odyssey review |

I like the fact that I can seat 6 in the back since I have 4 children. see full Honda Odyssey review |

No back support, no thigh support. Seat headrests curve your spine forward. Seat shape was not the same for all four captain chairs. Quality control must be very poor. see full Honda Odyssey review |
| 2006 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Worst driver seat ever--both bottom and back are poorly shaped. Cannot drive more than a few minutes without pain--so have modified with air cushion and pillows, but only partially mitigates. see full Honda Odyssey review |

| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Excellent for tall, long legged people - even more leg room than a Cadillac, which appears larger. My children love it! Also plenty of head room for tall people. see full Toyota Prius review |

Fold down seats and rear hatch entrance to place long cargo easily in space. HondaCivic did not have trunk access to rear seats. see full Toyota Prius review |

| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
No height adjustment and a bizarre seating angle. see full Toyota Prius review |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Seat needs more lower back support for distance driving. see full Toyota Prius review |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
If you are much over 5 foot 10 inches tall, the drivers seat might get a little tight. Not much leg support either as the bottom cushion is very short. I hear the 2010 redesign helped with this. Since I use this car for not much more than an hour commute, I tolerate the seat as the rest of the car is so darn good. see full Toyota Prius review |
