The seat causes no discomfort to my tailbone like many ohter cars. Furthermore, the padding is firm and feels like it will last a long time. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |

Mercedes-Benz makes the best seats in the business, period. Even after a 10 hour drive, my back did not hurt. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 181hp 1.8L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Not much leg room when compared to other luxury entries. No flat floor so a 3rd passenger in the rear is not possible. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 181hp 1.8L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Center console and stack cut into front side leg room, my left leg is always up against the center console. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Poor head room for tall people. see full Honda Insight review |
