CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2011 Honda Accord has a solid reputation (so far), with one very significant flaw: uncomfortable seats.
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. Complaints aren't limited to only a certain body type -- the seat comfort problems are from a wide spectrum of owner height & weight.
The common theme we hear is "never noticed this during the test drive." Unfortunately for unwary buyers, the seat pain is noticeable after 15-20 minutes.
I have bought several Honda accords in the past my first one 1989 ex/1996 lx/2001 lx /2003 lx/2007 se/none of these Honda Accords gave any problems . I decided to purchase a 2011 honda accord EX-L ,this was the worst mistake ever. I am very disappointed in the ride quality and the ability to keep an alignment . I think I have to finally leave Honda and pick a new automobile to purchase .
