After driving the Optima for five days straight for 10+ hours per day, other than the occasional stop, on a road trip, not one time did I get a sore back or thighs. see full Kia Optima review |

Rear-facing child seat fits inside with room to spare for the front seats. Easier to get in and out of (and get children in and out of) than larger cars due to design of the body and door. see full Honda Fit review |

No seat height adjustment makes my bad back scream on longer drives. No lumbar support. see full Honda Fit review |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The seats are reasonably comfortable but there is insufficient lumbar support. If you are middle-aged or older and have lower back trouble you may be uncomfortable on drives over 1-2 hours. There is no height adjustment for the drivers seat. see full Honda Fit review |

Zero lumbar support results in a sore back on longer trips. see full Honda Fit review |

No dead pedal. Awkward accelerator pedal. see full Honda Fit review |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
We don't think there would be room for two rear-facing car seats in the back, and I frequently have to sit in the back to let larger people sit in the front seat. see full Honda Fit review |
