2020 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2020	0	Front seats are softly padded in a way that is uncommon in modern vehicles. Driver's seat adjustments are above average, as there is an adjustable thigh support. Passenger seats lack lumbar adjustment and thigh support extensions, but have full 8-way power including seat-bottom tilt and height adjustment. --- Some drivers complain the lumbar support is intrusive, while others complain it's too subtle. Remember to sit in a seat and get a feel for yourself, as it is very subjective. --- The driver's seat has the option of a facial recognition system that is fairly reliable if used correctly and a useful feature that is not common in other cars. Memory buttons remain on the door for those that prefer them. --- The details that count: According to the owner's manual, the facial recognition system's software is open-source and data remains in the vehicle. --- see full Honda Accord review

2009 Mini Hardtop Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Smallish seats made the front feel kinda cheap. The middle armrest was also a very hard plastic, but the door was slightly softer plastic. see full Mini Hardtop review
2009	2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Despite being a hatchback, not a lot of headroom in the back, almost as same as the Mustang. Seats were more upright and headrest should have been integrated into seatbacks; rather, it was mostly a nuisance. see full Mini Hardtop review
2009	2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	There is no room for anyone other than a child see full Mini Hardtop review
2009	2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	I drove a John Cooperworks MINI and I found the front seat to be incredibly flat and unsupportive. It was the complete opposite of the GTI seats, and a big part of why I purchased the GTI instead see full Mini Hardtop review
2008	2dr Hatch 118-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The roof line is so low that tall people do not fit. When I tested the car my head was touching the roofliner. see full Mini Hardtop review
2008	2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	too small for adults see full Mini Hardtop review
