Excellent for cruising but lateral support is sorely lacking for cornering. Needs power & memory for the tilt/telescope steering wheel. Good view out of and around vehicle. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

The rear seat is adequate, but not large. Child seat fits fine, but my son can kick the back of the front seat. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

Depending on how tall your front passengers are, your rear passengers may not have any room to sit. Can fit 4 average sized adults, but it will be tight. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

Rear seats seem very cramped for leg room. I've never used them, but have only ever dared to take adults on short trips in the back. Heated seats are available for the rear passengers. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

The rear seat is too small for adults on long trips (over an hour). And the rear seat can only hold 2 people even for short trips. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

Limited leg room, especially during ingress and egress. Hump bisects leg room. Seat cushion needs to be 1-2 inches higher. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Honda Accord

2013 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2014 The Honda Accord's front seats are comfortable and properly supportive, but I find the Ford's even better. The Accord's clear advantage is in the back seat, which is much roomier than the Ford's, and a match for any other in the segment with the exception of the limo-like Volkswagen Passat's. see full Honda Accord review

2014 4dr Sedan 189-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed manual FWD
After 3 years of driving this car, I've developed neck problems from the head restraints forcing my head too far forward. I am 6'2" tall with good posture, a 34" inseam, and not overweight. It is difficult to sit in the seats without getting severe neck pain. I tried turning the head restraint around, in spite of the safety issue, but the bottom of the back of the restraint pokes me in the neck then. Just for kicks, I took the head restraint out to see if I could get comfortable, but the top of the seat back then presses uncomfortably into my upper back/lower neck. The only solution I've found so far that works is to put 3" of foam behind my back so that the head restraint is 1/2-1" behind my head. It is difficult to only fault Honda for this, because most cars model year 2009 and newer have the same problem after the NHTSA head restraint rules update from 2007. Honda, Mazda and Chevrolet seem to be the worst for forcing heads forward though. Ford has a tiltable head restraint in most of their vehicles, so they are adequate. Only when you get to the luxury brands do you find comfortable restraints. The BMW 5 series with multi contour seats, and the new Lincoln Continental have excellent seats, but they are also nearly twice as much as the Accord. Honda could fix their seat problems with a fore/aft adjustment for the head restraint and a taller seat back. It seems as if they make seats for a very limited height range with bad posture... see full Honda Accord review

Front headrests are inclined too far forward, making the seats very uncomfortable for shorter drivers. Drivers taller than 6'3" won't have a problem. But as a shorter driver, the uncomfortable seats have caused extreme upper back pain. see full Honda Accord review

Many reviews online state how comforable the seats are in the Accord, I cannot agree with them. I have owned a 2013 Altima as well and it is much more comfortable, but that car has a stability problem on the highway. see full Honda Accord review
