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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

2010 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Few cars offer the marriage of rear wheel drive performance with this amount of back seat room for the longer ride (travelling) with 4 adults. see full Hyundai Genesis review |
2010 | 4dr Sedan 375-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Very supportive, easily adjusted for that "just right" feeling. Very comfortable for extended periods of time. see full Hyundai Genesis review |

No discomfort noted on several trips of 250+ miles. Adjustable lumbar support is very nice (not just in/out, but also up/down). see full Hyundai Genesis review |
2009 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Lots of leg room and width. Air conditioning and heat controls that can be controlled separately from the front passengers choices. Rear window shade. see full Hyundai Genesis review |

First, I am a tall person and the seatbelt height adjustment does not go high enough, so if an accident should occur I believe that the shoulder belt will slip off. Also, the seats could be built more comfortable, more sporty. see full Hyundai Genesis review |
