2008	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Large trunk space seems to sacrifise rear seat area. see full Chevrolet Impala / Monte Carlo review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Another reason I'm glad I got the EX model. The power lumbar on the drivers seat is my backs best friend. Even after 16 hour days and 1100 miles, my back is fine. Excellent seats! see full Honda Accord review
2011	4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	6'4" and plenty of head and leg room. Leather seats and lumbar support fit me well. see full Honda Accord review
2010	4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Spacing is good, material use is comfortable. see full Honda Accord review

2011 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Lumbar support is too aggressive, and it is non-adjustable in the LX model. I have gotten used to them, but they are nowhere near the same league as my previously owned Saabs and BMWs. see full Honda Accord review
