TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Honda Accord

2017 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2018	Back in the day, Hondas weren't roomy by any absolute yardstick, but were surprisingly capacious considering their small exterior dimensions. Honda knew how to make the most of a small package. The Accord grew dramatically over the years. The second-generation 1982 sedan that put the model on the map (literally, they were everywhere) was 173.6 inches long and 65.0 inches wide, on a 96.5-inch wheelbase. The eighth-generation 2008 Accord was over 20 inches longer and 7.7 inches wider, on a 110.2-inch wheelbase. For the ninth-generation Accord, Honda regained enough of its former space efficiency skills to maintain interior space while slightly shrinking the car's exterior. For the tenth-generation car, they've pulled off a magic trick. Even though the new Accord is 0.3 inches less lengthy, Honda managed to increase total legroom by 1.7 inches. A two-inch wheelbase stretch contributed; to reduce overall length Honda trimmed the car's overhangs. Rear seat passengers now enjoy over 40 inches of rear legroom, a dramatic 2.4 inches more than in the Camry. They will feel like they're in a limo. What's the catch? Well, those rear seat occupants best not have tall torsos. The lower (by six-tenths of an inch), sleeker roof line cuts into rear headroom. The Camry provides another 0.7 inches for the heads of rear passengers. This might not sound like much until you have a rear seat passenger a bit over six feet in height. Also, Honda only managed as much rear headroom as it did by positioning the rear seat cushion somewhat low to the floor. Some--but not many--competitors have more comfortably positioned rear seat cushions. I'll note here that the new Accord also has a larger trunk than last year's Accord, the Camry, and every other competitor--but most are within a cubic foot. I'd trade a cubic foot for the interior trunk handle they appear to have considered, then left off the car. Keep the car clean or you'll dirty a hand closing the lid. see full Honda Accord review

2017 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2007 Mazda Mazda5

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
