Honda seat cushion improvement - HondaClub.com

tony209 · 07-02-2009, 05:22 PM

Many Honda models have problems with the seat cushion. They are not very comfortable to seat in them, especially the front ones. Those seats definitely need to be redesigned. Matter of fact, they are junk!!!!
There are only one model I found at a dealer ship in Orlando that has better front seats. Those front seats are in a Civic LX-S.
My friends and family are complaining about the seats of Hondas. If anyone catches an attention about such problem, please tell Honda to improve in this area. It's terrible if anyone sit in them on a long drive.

Thanks a million,
Tony

I have never felt a problem with Honda's seats. Any problems I have stem from sitting on a wallet (which I no longer do because of my scoliosis). I have found the seat in my 240SX to be uncomfortable, but that's because it's 18 years old and has very little spring in it. Do you sit in an odd position (ie heavily reclined or leaning over the wheel)? If you don't contour with the seat, then it will be uncomfortable.if you are also of large stature, then the seats could also be a bit uncomfortable.

8695Beaters,

Have you ever sat in a Ford Explorer or a Toyota Camry front seats before? Those seats are very comfortable compare with the Accord. I am not a large person anyway, but for a long drive, those seats could hurt your butts pretty bad.
I think Honda should improve in this area.
For Honda, I like only its engine. I would like Honda engine in a Ford Fusion instead.

I would agree with the Accord....I think the seats in the 8th gen are actually stiffer than the 7th gen. However, we have a 2004 Pilot and I LOVE the seats in it. Very cushy. Now, I am 6'3" 300 lbs, so it would take quite a seat to make it easy on me over long trips!

Well, by the movement, I still love this car, except the front seats. Every day we drive down the road, we have to avoid driving over something. Someone mention he could notice if the Accord is driving over a quarter of a Dollar. Is that really anoying?
