2008 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Superior to other minivans in ease of entry, available legroom, and comfort. see full Nissan Quest review |

The seat is not as comfortable as Chrysler or Toyota. This is not an issue except for very long trips (6-8 hrs). see full Nissan Quest review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
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 |
2010 | 4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
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 |
2009 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
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 |
2009 | 4dr Sedan 271-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Placement and tactile feel. see full Honda Accord review |

2010 | 4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
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 |
