I test drove both camry and accord yesterday. I am still in a confused state. I test drove the Accord last week, and when I did the lumbar support was completely inflated. I found it uncomfortable after my drive. the dealer told it was completely inflated and if you deflate it it will be fine. When I test drove yesterday I deflated it completely but still that thing was consciously in mind. I felt the same when I test drove the camry. The toyota dealer said if I need it removed, he can make a special order without any extra cost but the Honda dealer said he will not be able to do it. And regarding the noise, heard that Ex and higher models has Active Noise Cancellation, if that is the case then I dont think so noise it will be a big problem. I am still confused between the two: I am so impressed with the stlye and design of the Accord, which confuses me as to which one I should go with.

"I have heard that seats in Accord are very uncomfortable..."
I thought the exact same thing when I test drove the Accord. The lumbar support hurt my back; it did not flatten out enough for me. The Mazda6 was much more comfortable for me.

Colors on 2009 Accord

I'm thinking of buying an 09 Accord EX and want a black interior. I don't want the black exterior and not sure I want the silver. Has anyone seen the Mystic Green Metallic or own one?? I saw the picture in the brochure but it is hard to tell what it actually looks like. The Tea Green on the CRV I don't like. Any help would be appreciated. I like the red exterior but that would mean the ivory interior, I think.
Thanks in advance!!

Personally, the firm seats in my Accord are quite comfortable for my frame. Squishy seats can often lack support where you need it and leave you aching a few hours into a trip.
Seat shape is subjective from person to person, but firmness is a quality I like for the support; the Europeans (BMW, M-B, Audi, VW) learned it a long time ago!

True, I don't mind the hard seats, my only concern as such was the lumbar support hitting a bit hard even when it is completely deflated!! Is that comon with all cars? or all accordS?
Let me know

Several people have commented on the lumbar being a bit pronounced in the Accord, even when completely disengaged.
Trying it for yourself is the only way to know if it suits you well.

"In Accords" , here you mean all the Accords or just the 09 and 08's?
The reason I am asking you is that this is the first time I drove an accord

Yes, the 2008 Accord redesign brought a new seat design versus the 2007 and earlier models.
