2006 Honda S2000 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2005	2dr Convertible 240-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	Seats are aggressively bolstered, but fit very comfortably. I am a 6 foot tall slightly overweight male. The seat adjusts adequately to my height, unlike several other convertibles I have driven. see full Honda S2000 review
2005	2dr Convertible 240-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	Fits taller people than other roadsters I have tried. Probably comparable with modern BMW Z4 but I did not try that. see full Honda S2000 review

2007	2dr Convertible 237-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	Seat feels hard and is difficult to get adjusted properly. see full Honda S2000 review
2006	2dr Convertible 237-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	this car is engineered for speed, no wasted space.front quarters are cramped as one would expect with a roadster see full Honda S2000 review
2005	2dr Convertible 240-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	I'm 6' tall with a 33" inseam, 149 lbs, 30" waist. I fit exactly in every direction. The hip width of the seats is exactly mine, the seat is all the way back, and the back is ever so slightly tipped upwards from full back. Comfortable but see full Honda S2000 review
2005	2dr Convertible 240-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	I'm 5' 9" and 185# and of average frame proportions. The seat bolsters are Proportioned for the Asian torso. So, the average-to-large European butt isn't going to appreciate the tight seat bolsters. This is why the bolsters quickly break down and need re-padding with firm foam. see full Honda S2000 review

2017 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	From the driver seat the new Honda Civic feels especially roomy. Appearances aren't deceiving: the car has an inch or two more front shoulder room than most other small sedans, and about as much as you'll find in some midsize sedans. On paper the Mazda3 has as much shoulder room, but it feels narrower. Some competitors feel much narrower. In comparison, the new Civic's driving position seems like that of a midsize car. In terms of specs, the Civic's rear seat is also roomier than most others. Owing to a somewhat low cushion and scant toe room beneath the front seats, though, I found it less comfortable than some others. The Elantra isn't among these others. Its rear seat cushion is also too close to the floor to provide thigh support, plus its rear seat back is reclined too much for my taste. Even so, rear headroom is limited. The new Civic's trunk can also hold more than the class average. see full Honda Civic review

2017 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Unlike in the Hyundai and Mazda, in the new Honda Civic the lumbar bulge cannot be adjusted. I didn't mind the Touring's front seats. Perhaps my spine was unusually flexible the day I drove it. Or perhaps the cloth seats are slightly different. Whatever the reason, for my upright build the Civic EX's lumbar bulge and headrest both jut too far forward. If your body shape differs from mine, your impressions of the seats might as well. But for years I've heard more complaints about Honda's seats than others. Try extensively before you buy. see full Honda Civic review
