Front Seat Comfort for Long Trips

I have an EX-T. I'm approximately 6'1"-6'2", 173 lbs. I have long legs. I can't fully extend either of my legs even with the seat pushed all the way back. I have to keep my knees slightly bent. I haven't taken any long trips, but suspect this would be my biggest gripe. The seat is definitely low, but I haven't experienced any issues with back discomfort so far.

6', 175# male just returned from an out of town trip 4 hours away. By far the most comfortable road trip I've ever experienced.

6' / 220# - I just took a 1200 mile road trip. After about 3 hours in my EX, my butt cheeks are falling asleep. Also my right knee hits the hard plastic center console and gets sore. Luckily AAC/LKAS allows me to adjust in my seat pretty frequently. I am glad I don't have to drive this car for a living.

Right knee into center console is an issue with the Touring trim as well, fwiw. It really didn't bother me, but I did notice it.

200 lbs, 5'-11" tall in a Civic Touring with 10,000km (6,000 miles).

Most comfortable seat for long trips so far out of about 15 vehicles over the years. Most of the mileage is 70km (45 miles) one way to work with a few 600km (400 mile) trips to Toronto. This is the first car I take on a typical "Toronto" trip where I'm not tired as hell when I get there at the end of the day. The only thing I find hard to get used to is my left elbow hangs in mid air instead of resting on the armrest. I do have the seat all the way down to accommodate my tall upper body and short legs (32in inseam). I tend to pull up my left knee and keep my left heel tight to the seat while resting my forearm on my thigh.

Same thing with me, I find the left armrest a bit too low to be totally comfortable, that's the only issue. I've got no problem with the leg space or the right armrest on the center console, especially being able to adjust in forward and backward if needed.

The front seats in my LX are just fine. We took it to Branson and back through the Ozarks, and it was comfortable. Better than most cars I've owned. Alot of the comfort factor has to do with your body shape too.

I could not get comfortable in my 2018 hatch Sport - when the seat back was at the correct angle I felt like I was too upright. Today, I tried adding a folded microfibre blanket at the low spot where the bottom cushion meets the back rest and immediately knew I had the solution. Now I can enjoy the car.

5ft 7inches 160ish lbs. The SI seats were super comfy on my 6hr roadtrip. So much better than my 9th gen seats.

I drove from Long Island, NY to Gainesville FL, 17 non-stop hours. Seats were comfortable for about 10 hours, then my butt got a bit flattened out as the seats are not super cushy. So, I bought this seat bottom gel pad and problem solved! Think but adds just the bit of cushion needed when on long trips.
