| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Have the EXL model with heated, power drivers seat. Passenger seat heat is not heated on the back portion due to some airbag issue. Comfortable front seats. Good rear leg room. see full Honda Accord review |

The extra room upfront means that the back seat passengers will have adequate room see full Honda Accord review |

Front seats are great, even after 500+ miles see full Honda Accord review |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The seats were very comfortable. Lots of lateral support and for the long drive to the west valley of Phoenix to see my parents, the seats did not let me down. see full Honda Accord review |
| 2006 | 2dr Coupe 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
The front seats have good side bolstering for spirited driving. They are also comfortable for long trips. see full Honda Accord review |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
It provides good back and thigh support. see full Honda Accord review |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L V6 Hybrid 5-speed automatic FWD |
One reason I was looking at new cars was because I was about to need a place to put a carseat. My previous vehicle was a truck. The backseat of the Accord is VERY roomy. see full Honda Accord review |

| 2008 Mazda RX-8 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Coupe 232-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD |
Very comfortable Recaro seats, even on long drives. Larger people may not be comfortable so beware. see full Mazda RX-8 review |
| 2009 | 4dr Coupe 232-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD |
Given the RX-8's compact dimensions, you wouldn't expect rear seat space to be a strength. But thanks to clever packaging and a subtly high roofline, there is actually space for real adults in back, provided those up front are short or move their seats up somewhat. With a pair of pickup-like rear-opening "half" rear doors, ingress and egress for rear seat passengers is a snap. For those who want a sports car but have children or need to transport a few friends occassionally, the RX-8 fits the bill nicely. see full Mazda RX-8 review |
| 2007 | 4dr Coupe 212-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Excellent for long trips. Even though I suffer from spinal stenosis, I did a two-day 1800 mile trip with no troubles and felt great on arrival. Most modern cars have comfortable seats, but these also make me feel like I am part of the car. see full Mazda RX-8 review |
