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.

Apparently from googling around, this occurs in some Hondas and dealerships are aware but blame it on you or the tires. Our Johnson City Honda dealership is not very good to work with, so I'll just get some new tires....probably have the same problem in about 15000 miles again, but it will be out of warranty then and they can throw that up to me. Honda's quality and customer service has gone to hell over the last few years. We'll never buy another one, and we are up to nine people we have told about this, 12 people we have told about the sleezy sales manager, and 15 people we have told about the ignition key tumblers not working leaving my wife stranded in Louisiana for 2 days at 23000 miles. And we'll continue and keep count.......Yelp.com is helpful too.
