TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Honda Accord

2015 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	The Honda Accord's front seats are comfortable and properly supportive, but I find the Ford's even better. The Accord's clear advantage is in the back seat, which is much roomier than the Ford's, and a match for any other in the segment with the exception of the limo-like Volkswagen Passat's. see full Honda Accord review

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
2014	4dr Sedan 189-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	After 3 years of driving this car, I've developed neck problems from the head restraints forcing my head too far forward. I am 6'2" tall with good posture, a 34" inseam, and not overweight. It is difficult to sit in the seats without getting severe neck pain. I tried turning the head restraint around, in spite of the safety issue, but the bottom of the back of the restraint pokes me in the neck then. Just for kicks, I took the head restraint out to see if I could get comfortable, but the top of the seat back then presses uncomfortably into my upper back/lower neck. The only solution I've found so far that works is to put 3" of foam behind my back so that the head restraint is 1/2-1" behind my head. It is difficult to only fault Honda for this, because most cars model year 2009 and newer have the same problem after the NHTSA head restraint rules update from 2007. Honda, Mazda and Chevrolet seem to be the worst for forcing heads forward though. Ford has a tiltable head restraint in most of their vehicles, so they are adequate. Only when you get to the luxury brands do you find comfortable restraints. The BMW 5 series with multi contour seats, and the new Lincoln Continental have excellent seats, but they are also nearly twice as much as the Accord. Honda could fix their seat problems with a fore/aft adjustment for the head restraint and a taller seat back. It seems as if they make seats for a very limited height range with bad posture... see full Honda Accord review

2007 Mazda Mazda5 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	One of the smallest vehicles with seating for 6. Going to a full size minivan removes the option for a manual transmission, severely reduces visibility and adds too much weight. SUVs are just way too big see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2008	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Space for two kids or adult to sit comfortably - elderly father sits up straight and can access easily with sliding doors. Pop up seats deal with short term travel with friends/teammates. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2008	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Ample space for such a small exterior. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2008	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	3rd row in a "car" is nice - we always have the occasional 3rd or 4th child and like that they are somewhat temporarily available. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2007	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Rear seats fit adults or kids in car seats adequately, especially for an economy car. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Tons of rear seat room, and the second row seats can slide back/forth and recline. Third row is reserved for small children, however. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The rear doors are the sliding type, which is the most practical (and brilliant) type of rear doors for children. I also like the fact that the middle seats recline and slide, they have storage under the cushions, and a third row of usable seating! see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great, height adjustable driver seat, with good lumbar support. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Second row seats have lots of room, can slide fore and aft, and can recline. The passenger seats up in a chair-like posture, with great support for thighs. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Can easily and comfortably seat six (6!) adults in a small package with storage space remaining. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2007 Mazda Mazda5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	With the seat all back, there is not much room for anyone over six feet tall. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Tight fit once the front seats are slid back. Third row is useless if the second row is slid back. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
