TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2019 Honda Accord

2019 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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2019 Honda Accord

2019 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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Scion xB

2006 Scion xB Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Full sized adults fit well in the rear seat. 2 of them. see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	This car is like an optical illusion - it's SOOO much bigger on the inside than it seems like from the outside! Riding in it feels more like riding in a minivan than a car. My husband is over 6' tall, and he can sit comfortably in the driver's seat with plenty of room above his head. At the same time, my son (also over 6' tall) can sit comfortably behind him with plenty of room for his knees. When my kids were younger, we fit three of them in the back, and often went on long trips (5-6 hrs in the car) with no problems. Our luggage even fit in the back! see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	It is so comfortable for tall people, with plenty of legroon. see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	More rear legroom than a BMW 7 series !!! Tall people are more than comfortable in the back seat see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Gigantic rear seats. 6+ foot tall passengers can seat in the back without their knees touching the front seatbacks. Cargo capacity is also most impressive for such compact exterior dimensions. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The seats are very comfortable for a vehicle as inexpensive as this. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	There is tons of room in this car! It almost seems bigger on the inside than the car is on the outside. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I have 3 kids, ages 15, 13, and 7, and they have all kinds of leg room in the back seat of this car. It's almost as much as a minivan. All 3 can ride comfortably in the back for up to an hour or so. Another 2 inches or so of width would make it ideal, even for longer trips. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	There is enough room in the rear seat for two large men to sit comfortably or, in my case, two car seats for my children. see full Scion xB review
