We recently bought an 8th gen i-dtec auto and I was really worried about seat comfort after eight years of satisfaction with our Prelude 5th gen. I have found the lumbar support ok when turned almost right down. We have already done a trip of more than 2,000 miles and are very happy with the front seats - as I had hoped, I can drive all day and have no back twinges at all. The only thing I miss from the Prelude is that the height adjustment is just straight up or down and doesn't raise the front of the seat squab relative to the back.
