What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2010 Honda Accord

2010 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
2009 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed automatic FWD
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
2009 4dr Sedan 271-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic FWD
Placement and tactile feel. 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

2012 The first con is the obvious one, and a deal killer for many people. While the FR-S has a barely usable rear seat, the MX-5 Miata has none at all. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review
