Front seats -Crosstar

[Lincolnshire Rambler]

Maybe I have noticed incorrectly but I think my drivers seat at its highest setting is the same height the passenger seat is fixed  to ? So my drivers seat only “goes down “and doesn’t go higher than the non height adjustable passenger one ? Mine is the SR model not the EX -but would assume the drivers adjustment on the seat is same for all models ? I will measure the seat cushion height to the roof and see what they measure .

I was going to buy a Crosstar, test drove one and loved it. 'Sold'it to my wife and took a second test with her. Then found passenger seat was too low for her and discovered it was not height adjustable.
Deal off and so Honda lost a sale for the sake of an adjustable seat - why don't Honda fit adjustable passenger seats like most competitors? It just seems perverse to me.

Given how important an issue it is, I'm surprised you even bothered test driving one tbh.

It does seem very short sighted of Honda not to fit them though. Even my mk1 Octavia Ambient had height adjustable passenger seat. Very helpful on the couple of occasions I needed to transport my elderly arthritic aunt. There was simply no way would she have got in without the seat on its highest setting.

Given it's clearly costing Honda sales, it has to be a false economy not to fit as standard.

My fault for not checking before I tested it. Sadly I just assumed the Crosstar would have height adjustable seats for both front seats. It seems such penny pinching meaness.

Strange it's not option like the choice of wheel trims etc. Seeing as most of the options are just cosmetic it would be good to have some that are useful.

Height of drivers seat to ground is 588mm for passenger seat and 565-609mm for adjustable drivers side. This is for standard Jazz so Crosstar will be somewhat higher on both seats.
Difference is just under an inch but it seems to make a lot of difference.
