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 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 |

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 |

2015 Subaru Legacy Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2015 | Along with the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, and Volkswagen Passat, the Subaru Legacy has one of the roomiest rear seats in the segment. Rear seat passengers have a couple inches less knee room in the Ford Fusion. The rear seats in the Chrysler and Buick are tighter still. This said, especially with the optional sunroof rear seat headroom is somewhat limited. People taller than six feet might come into contact with the headliner. The top trim level includes rear air vents. see full Subaru Legacy review |

The front seats have an unusually high bulge just below my shoulder blades. This feels more odd than uncomfortable, at least to me. Partly depending on your height your experience might vary. These seats also provide very little lateral support, which admittedly isn't much of an issue given the limited grippiness of the tires. I had no such qualms with the armrest on the door. It's wide and cushy. In the front seats' favor, for 2015 Subaru has added fore-aft adjustability to the headrests, a rarity in recent moderately priced cars. see full Subaru Legacy review |
