The Driver and Passenger front seats of the 2016 Honda Accord Sport are horrible. They are very uncomfortable, offer very little cushion and support. My lower back and hips hurts during long trips of 70 miles or greater (my weight is 261). My wife who often sits in the passenger seat complains that the back of her legs hurt and start to go numb (she weighs 143 pounds). The driver seat is better in that it offers more angles of adjustment but, the passenger set is not the same and has less options for seat angles. It feels like the driver seat is bottoming out onto something hard and putting pressure onto my lower back, makes my but numb also.
I do not want to lose money on a trade to get rid of this car due to lack of build/material quality and driver/passenger comfort. Purchasing a seat cushion is the answer. The cushions in the seats are not firm to absorb shock or provide cushion. They are a soft material that collapses/compresses under weight, they feel hard and have absolutely no springiness to them at all.
I had a VW Jetta TDI that was bought back due to emissions lawsuit, the dealer knew that when I went in to look at this vehicle. I wish the salesperson who already knew of this complaint would have suggested a different model since I'm a big guy. Never trust a salesman, never trust a dealership, and think twice in this current age before trusting an automaker with a good history. They all just want your money and everything is made very poorly at a premium price. You want a luxury seat, you have to buy a luxury car. The old days where Hondas were your best bang for the dollar are long gone. Today's Hondas are not built like they use to be, nor any other manufacturer, unless you step up to a true luxury car. I think that is the new philosophy of car makers these days. Want it better, spend more and we will get you a better seat. I'm done buying new cars.
