| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 271-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Placement and tactile feel. 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 |

This sedan has the most comfort of any sedan I have been in. Others may have had a little more room like the camry but the accord was more comfortable. I am also 6 foot 4 and plenty of head room. see full Honda Accord review |

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Buick Verano
| 2012 Buick Verano Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | The Buick Verano's impression of substance and solidity extends to its seats. The front buckets are larger and more thickly padded than those in the typical compact sedan, yet have a firm, properly supportive underlying structure. They look and feel "premium." The Acura ILX's front seats, with more prominent side bolsters, provide better lateral support in hard turns, but don't feel as solid or as luxurious. see full Buick Verano review | |

| While the Buick Verano's exterior is large for a compact sedan, its rear seat is among the tightest. The ILX is a bit tighter still. In it I can just fit behind my 5-9 self. But anyone who requires an adult-friendly rear seat will likely reject both cars (along with the new Cadillac ATS). The Verano's 14.5 cubic foot trunk--two cubes over the ILX's--is more competitive, and more in line with Buick's traditional strengths. see full Buick Verano review | ||

| 2013 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I am 6'1", broad shouldered, overweight, and considered quite a big guy, but I have no trouble fitting into the car. Even if you are a couple of inches higher than me, you should be okay. Be advised I chose a car without a sunroof. The sunroof may cut into that headroom. see full Buick Verano review |
| 2013 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The seat cushioning is about the best in the business. The foam density Buick used is unlike any I have experienced. see full Buick Verano review |

| 2013 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
No rear seat venting except the floor makes it a bit stuffy for the rear seat passengers. The rear seating area is tight to get into but once seated provide enough space. see full Buick Verano review |

My right knee(with shorts on) hits the hard plastic to discomfort. I thought about putting some padding there. Same with the lack of padding inside the map pocket on the door to keep contents from rattleing. see full Buick Verano review |
