TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Honda Accord
| 2012 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | Compared to any midsize sedan, the Accord Coupe's rear seat is tight and difficult to get into and out of. At 5-9 I can sit behind myself, but with only an inch between my scalp and the rear window and about the same between my knees and the front seat back. The rear seat is only in the "whys" here because it's being compared to the rear seats in other coupes, including the Hyundai's, and these are even tighter. Same story with cargo capacity. The Accord Coupe's 13.7 cubic-foot trunk would be marginally competitive in a midsize sedan, but it compares very well to those in other coupes. The Genesis Coupe checks in at 10.0. see full Honda Accord review | |

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 |

Many reviews online state how comforable the seats are in the Accord, I cannot agree with them. I have owned a 2013 Altima as well and it is much more comfortable, but that car has a stability problem on the highway. see full Honda Accord review |

Front headrests are inclined too far forward, making the seats very uncomfortable for shorter drivers. Drivers taller than 6'3" won't have a problem. But as a shorter driver, the uncomfortable seats have caused extreme upper back pain. see full Honda Accord review |

Volvo should be ashamed for such lousy seats. They know how to build great seats but they shortchanged the V50. see full Volvo V50 review |
