What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Honda Accord

2016 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

2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Driving 4-5 hours in a row left no fatigue or discomfort in my back or legs. The seats are just firm enough but very supportive where they need to be. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2008	4dr Sedan 382-horsepower 5.5L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The most comfortable seats among all its rivals including Lexus, Jaguar, BMW, Audi, and Infiniti. Plenty of adjustments in the seat and the telescoping steering wheel. Plenty of front seat room for people 6 foot tall and more. Provides ample support. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Can spend all day driving this car and not be exhausted. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2008	4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Much better sized for me. My prior 2007 three series BMW was too small and cramped. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2007	4dr Sedan 507-horsepower 6.2L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Lots of room and has adjustments on multicontour seats. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2007	4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Very comfortable, firm seating,even after very long drives. The combination of lumbar support and heat leaves me refreshed after eight- and nine-hour drives. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review

2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 382-horsepower 5.5L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The back seat is very comfortable and provides good headroom and seating support. They fold down to provide additional storage room. My complaint is that it is not S class roomy in the back. Leg and foot room can be limited if sitting behind a tall driver see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
