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.

My car barely had 34,880 miles. After a short lunch, I go to turn it on but nothing happens. First reaction is to ask for a battery charge since everything powered down. It had to be charged for 20-30 minutes, barely enough juice to get my to auto store. I had to purchase a new battery. Turns out that the factory battery that came with my 2012 Honda Accord was only 410 Amps (which looked like a Civic battery), but it really needed a 640 Amps battery. Honda has dropped the ball on the quality and realiability of their name...I am dissapointed, as this is my 4th Honda!
