Default new purchase 2009 Accord

I just put a deposit down on 2009 v6 with leather, the drivers seat fells very hard, am I crazy? I had a 2006 with leather remember it being much more comforable. I am also hearing storys about the brakes wearing out at 15000 miles and lots of wind noise on the highway. Any feed back would be helpful I am picking up the car next week.
Thanks

I have an 09 4 cylinder that I love. The seats do take a little getting used to. I came out of an 08 Dodge Charger. As far as wind noise the main noise I have experienced is tire noise. It has Dunlop Sport 7000AS which is the noisiest tire I have ever owned in my 30+ years of driving. I absolutely love the car.

Hi Jim - I own your exact car got it 3 months ago. No I do not have any wind noise on the highway but it is noisy, just plain road noise. The ride also isn't as smooth as say a Camry. It's a sporty ride and feel if you don't mind that you'll love the car. Can't comment on the brake wear yet.

Oh...Now to **** you off....I paid 23,500 brand new off the lot (also no nav.) sticker was 29,275. Added to the 23,500 was doc fee blah, blah, blah. The extras added up to like 500-600 I think. I did everything on line and never stepped into the dealer until the day I signed on the dotted line. Well, I did visit them once just for a test drive that was it. I had 2 or 3 dealers fighting over my business all on line. 2 other dealers backed out claiming I was buying the car at too much of a loss for them to bother with me, I have no idea if this is true or not.

All in all I like the car.
