If you expect to safely transport any short or fat people in your car, you might want to avoid the Honda. The Honda company, for some reason and unlike most car companies, refuses to make available seat belt extenders. Short passengers will end up with the shoulder harness coming across their throats. Fat passengers will find the lap belt won't reach around them.

I drive an Acura RL. I had already bought it before I found that it wouldn't accommodate all sized passengers safely. My RL is a quality automobile, but I consider this a "fatal" flaw and will never buy another Honda product until they change their policy. If you don't have occasion to transport odd-sized people, of course, it may not matter. Or if your state does not require that seat belts be worn.
