Another reason I'm glad I got the EX model. The power lumbar on the drivers seat is my backs best friend. Even after 16 hour days and 1100 miles, my back is fine. Excellent seats! see full Honda Accord review |

6'4" and plenty of head and leg room. Leather seats and lumbar support fit me well. see full Honda Accord review |

Lumbar support is too aggressive, and it is non-adjustable in the LX model. I have gotten used to them, but they are nowhere near the same league as my previously owned Saabs and BMWs. see full Honda Accord review |

Seats are hard. Headrest forces your head to bend too far forward. Sculpted seat backs forces your shoulders too far forward from your spine. see full Nissan Sentra review |

With the front seats all the way back, children can barely fit their legs behind the seats. see full Nissan Sentra review |
