What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Honda Accord

2016 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2016 4dr Sedan 278-horsepower 3.5L V6

There is not quite enough adjustment in the front seat for me. I feel there is an un-natural curve in the front seat that I can't remove with the lumbar support. I sit on a folded towel to get the curve of the seat in the right place for my back. I'm 5'11" if that puts it into perspective for you. The steering wheel should telescope out more for optimal arm position and the orientation of the HUGE speedometer makes it get chopped in half by the steering wheel. No digital speedo readout on this model. Note that the touring gauges are a little different than the standard V6. see full Honda Accord review
