Another TSX feature that I really LOVE

The seats. I know seating comfort is an individual issue, but I really love the nice firm seats in my car. They just fit me perfectly. And, I've been really happy with the head room and tilt/telescoping steering wheel. This is just an extremely comfortable car.

I agree, but only for the driver's seat. I think the passenger seat sucks.

Agreed. I was surprised to see a couple threads on the seats being uncomfortable. I actually find them very comfortable.

Headroom is good as well. The only thing I could use a little more of is leg room...but I feel this way in most cars. I always just push seats back as far as they can go. There has only been one car that actually had more leg room than I needed and that was the new saab. There must be some pretty big sweeds.

Ths TSX sucks are really comfortable for me, kinda like a big sofa.
I was used to JDM Recaros in my Type R and the Recaros in the Evo.

My arms are short, so it would be hard to driver from the passenger seat!

I like the seats, but I find the headrest annoying. I wish it would lock into place. I think mine rides up higher and higher. Maybe it needs fixin'.

I think the driver seat is okay in the TSX, not the best, because on long trips I get fatigue in the TSX too easily. The TSX's backseat is uncomfortable for me tho.

I think that the Honda CR-V seats are more comfortable for long road trips.

Aren't the Recaros in the Evo covered in fabric, not leather? I'd rank the TSX seats nearly as good or bad as the leather-clad Recaros that Porsche uses, but not up to the standard of the Volvo and Saab seats covered in fabric.

Had I my choice I'd prefer fabric seating, but I'm also pretty sure if Honda built every TSX to order, it wouldn't sell for $8000 less than a similarly equipped 325i!
