CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 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 "we never noticed this during the test drive." Unfortunately for unwary buyers, the seat pain is noticeable after 15-20 minutes.
tear in leather seat and console after minimal use
I bough a accord because I drive my cars until they fall apart. I had my last car 20 years. the leather seat in my old car got a tear in it from the seatbelt being used for so long , so I put the cloth protectors on the honda seatbelts right after I bought it so that wouldn't happen. It did anyways, after about a year. And now the leather on the center console has wrinkled up and torn and the car is a 2012. Its been that way for about a year. very cheap leather!
