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.

Most Common Solutions:
buy rubbery shelf liner for the compartment (1 reports)
put doors on cubby holes to contents would not fly out (1 reports)
Dashboard compartments allow contents to slide back and forth as well as fall out onto the console. Fixed that problem by placing the rubbery, waffley shelf line on the bottom of each compartment. Stopped the rattling, shifting and falling out.
Almost every time I get into the Accord I keep smashing my right knee on the dashboard edge. How you solve that I don't know.
Got a new Honda and the little compartment on the dashboard DOES NOT have doors on them AND they are too small to hold anything in them. Now only could I not put anything in them and when I do, the contents slides out and falls everywhere when the car is in motion. Who would design cubbies in a car that would not contains its contents??? HELLO!!!!... There are hills /mountains in some parts of the world... not all places are flat!!!! While I am at it, every time I get into the driver's seat, my left knee would hit the dash board cuz the dash board is pushed out too far into the driver's seat. I think my left knee is permanently bruised by now.
