The front seat did not go back far enough for a very tall person, headroom was good, head rest pushes your head forward which is horrible. Passenger seat has a glove box near ankles which hits your shins. I guess they used midgets to design the car. see full Honda Pilot review |

I actually thought the limited edition of the pilot had a nice leather seats and I liked the position of the video screen. The only part that bothered me was access to the third row was circus like. see full Honda Pilot review |

This seat was not made for long distance driving. The armrest on the door feels cushy, but after a couple of hours your elbow is pretty much on hard plastic. see full Honda Pilot review |

Both the Regal and 200 have much less rear seat room than the average midsize sedan. Adults up to about six feet in height will fit, but with little room to spare. see full Buick Regal review |

Since the car came from Opel (EU), it is naturally made for smaller fold. The rear is comfortable, just a little lacking in legroom at times. see full Buick Regal review |
