Have the EXL model with heated, power drivers seat. Passenger seat heat is not heated on the back portion due to some airbag issue. Comfortable front seats. Good rear leg room. see full Honda Accord review |

The seats were very comfortable. Lots of lateral support and for the long drive to the west valley of Phoenix to see my parents, the seats did not let me down. see full Honda Accord review |

One reason I was looking at new cars was because I was about to need a place to put a carseat. My previous vehicle was a truck. The backseat of the Accord is VERY roomy. see full Honda Accord review |

The seats are very comfortable for the size car. see full Lexus IS review |
2006 | 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The good of the front seat comfort is that the seats are ventilated. They could be stronger and cooler but that is my preference. Why is it that we cant get Audis, BMWs, or Lexus with fabric seats in the US? see full Lexus IS review |

The front seat headrests are too far back for me. I feel if I use them I am looking at the sky because of their angle. I would prefer some fwd-rev adjustment which i have seen on other cars. see full Lexus IS review |
