What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Honda Accord

2016 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2016	4dr Sedan 278-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	There is not quite enough adjustment in the front seat for me. I feel there is an un-natural curve in the front seat that I can't remove with the lumbar support. I sit on a folded towel to get the curve of the seat in the right place for my back. I'm 5'11" if that puts it into perspective for you. The steering wheel should telescope out more for optimal arm position and the orientation of the HUGE speedometer makes it get chopped in half by the steering wheel. No digital speedo readout on this model. Note that the touring gauges are a little different than the standard V6. see full Honda Accord review

2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The Kia Sorento had very good seating positions in the front for a very tall person, I'm almost 6'5" and was able to fit with the sunroof / panaramic roof. You get a feeling of control and confidence. You do loose about 1" or so with the see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Need 7 passenger seating and the Sorento has delivered. Used 3rd row quite a few times with children AND adults. No complaints, although 3rd ride was usually no more than one hour. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The third seat was a major factor in our decision process. see full Kia Sorento review

2012	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Needs an adjustable second row and a little more cargo room when the third row seat is up. see full Kia Sorento review
2011	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	3rd row is tiny, and you are forced to get it, if you want the V-6 see full Kia Sorento review
