2021 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2020	0	Front seats are softly padded in a way that is uncommon in modern vehicles. Driver's seat adjustments are above average, as there is an adjustable thigh support. Passenger seats lack lumbar adjustment and thigh support extensions, but have full 8-way power including seat-bottom tilt and height adjustment. --- Some drivers complain the lumbar support is intrusive, while others complain it's too subtle. Remember to sit in a seat and get a feel for yourself, as it is very subjective. --- The driver's seat has the option of a facial recognition system that is fairly reliable if used correctly and a useful feature that is not common in other cars. Memory buttons remain on the door for those that prefer them. --- The details that count: According to the owner's manual, the facial recognition system's software is open-source and data remains in the vehicle. --- see full Honda Accord review

2007 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	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

2007 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 416-horsepower 5.0L V8 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Not enough rear legroom. see full Lexus IS review
2008	4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The rear seat really is too small for adults. The front seats have to be moved forward for adults to sit in the back. see full Lexus IS review
2008	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The rear seats are very comfortable, but TINY. see full Lexus IS review
2008	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Small rear seat. More like a coupe with 4 doors. see full Lexus IS review
2007	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Even large children will struggle to fit. see full Lexus IS review
2007	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	We do not have small children, and only small children could fit back there. see full Lexus IS review
2006	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	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
