2011 | 4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
6'4" and plenty of head and leg room. Leather seats and lumbar support fit me well. see full Honda Accord review |
2011 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
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 |

Spacing is good, material use is comfortable. see full Honda Accord review |
2009 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Even with the front driver and passenger seats move all the way to the back of their tracks and reclined somewhat, there is still plenty of legroom for backseat passengers (even 6 footers). This is really a full size sedan and not a mid-size. see full Honda Accord review |

Front seats offer plenty of range of motion. They are comfortable for extended periods of time. Side bolsters are not too soft, not to rigid. Just right. 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 |

I have a hard time fitting into most cars due to headroom issues. Wagon without sunroof fits me perfectly. see full Subaru Legacy review |

Passengers have complained that their legs get a little pinched in the rear seat. I tell them to stop being so tall. see full Subaru Legacy review |

Admittedly, the Legacy is a small-ish vehicle. My back seat passengers report being comfortable, but snug. see full Subaru Legacy review |
