More comfortable seating, front and rear, is one benefit of the 2006 Honda Civic Sedan’s redesign. Four six-footers can fit inside the Civic Sedan, and those in the back seat won’t lack head or legroom. There’s even plenty of wiggle space for toes. For greater comfort, get the Civic EX, which comes with a fold-down rear center armrest.

Up front, wide, firm, supportive chairs offer excellent comfort. The driver gets a manual seat height adjuster, and in combination with the standard tilt and telescopic steering column, a perfect driving position is easy to find. You sit high in this car, and the dashboard is low, providing a spacious, airy ambience not unlike Civics of old. Honda also provides plenty of storage space inside the 2006 Civic Sedan, and road noise is commendably low.
