CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2010 Honda Accord some several significant flaws: excessive oil consumption, premature brake wear, & uncomfortable seats.
In October 2013, Honda settled a class action for excessive oil consumption which extends their V6 powertrain warranty out to 8 years & no mileage limit. However, is the inconvenience & risk of dealing with Honda on this problem worth it? We don't think so.
Owners have consistently reported uncomfortable seats with the entire 8th generation (2008-2012) of Honda Accords. Complaints range from back pain to leg circulation problems due to bad lumbar support, cushioning, & seat angle. Unwary buyers report the seat pain is mainly only noticeable after 15-20 minutes. The common theme we hear is "never noticed this during the test drive."
I found a youtube clip which shows a similar problem as mine though the vehicle in the clip is 2009 accord.

I do not think that this kind of wind noise should be heard in a new car. I visited my dealer 4 times but they haven't fixed it yet. They located it as coming from the A pillar molding on driver's side. All they have done so far is made two dents on the modling.

Guess I should have had a test drive on I95 before buying. Can hardly hear music.
