2012 Acura TSX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I find the heated front seats exceptionally comfortable. I am 6' 2" and have very good room. Note, however, that my wife finds the forward lean in the headrests uncomfortable. see full Acura TSX review
