2008 Dodge Caliber Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD	I have taken many long trips and the front seats never leave you with any discomfort when getting out. see full Dodge Caliber review
2007	4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD	Plenty of room to stretch out. see full Dodge Caliber review
2007	4dr Hatch 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	Nicely shaped seats, roomy, feels much larger inside than it is. see full Dodge Caliber review

2008 Dodge Caliber Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD	With front seats all the way back, limited legroom. Not a big deal see full Dodge Caliber review
2007	4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD	When front seats are sild back, very little leg room for passengers in back--even kids. see full Dodge Caliber review
2007	4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD	Not enough rear knee room. Hard to enter and exit the back seat. see full Dodge Caliber review

2010 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
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
2010	4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Spacing is good, material use is comfortable. see full Honda Accord review
2009	4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Even with the front driver and passenger seats move all the way to the back of their tracks and reclined somewhat, there is still plenty of legroom for backseat passengers (even 6 footers). This is really a full size sedan and not a mid-size. see full Honda Accord review
2009	4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Front seats offer plenty of range of motion. They are comfortable for extended periods of time. Side bolsters are not too soft, not to rigid. Just right. see full Honda Accord review
2009	4dr Sedan 271-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Placement and tactile feel. see full Honda Accord review

2010 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
