What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Honda CR-Z

2012 Honda CR-Z Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	2dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD	No rear seats in the US version, which greatly reduces passenger utility. However, the storage space is much bigger than many cars in the same price range. Driver and passenger seats are otherwise adequately comfortable. see full Honda CR-Z review
