2011 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

6'4" and plenty of head and leg room. Leather seats and lumbar support fit me well. see full Honda Accord review

Spacing is good, material use is comfortable. 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
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Lexus IS

2014 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2014 Following the Germans' lead, many car makers have been fitting firmer and firmer seats. Cadillac might have once been known for seats you could sink deep into, but those in the ATS are the opposite, with too little give and contours that are far from form-fitting. No fear, Lexus hasn't done the same with the IS. Even the more heavily bolstered seats that are part of the F Sport package lack hard points, which helps them provide a slop-free fit for a wide range of body types. (Oddly, you'll find seats similar to these in some Chrysler people haulers.) Personally, I wouldn't mind a little firmer support, but then I also prefer a firm mattress. Notably, the lumbar support in the Lexus IS is only two-way and the spread of the side bolsters is not adjustable. For four-way lumbar support and adjustable side bolsters (plus somewhat firmer support) you need to step up to the larger Lexus GS. see full Lexus IS review
