2014 Acura ILX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	For me, Acura's front seats provide a very good combination of lateral support and comfort. Opinions of seats are bound to vary from person to person, though, as it's difficult to design one seat to fit all shapes and sizes of people. see full Acura ILX review

2014 Acura ILX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The ILX's rear seat is considerably tighter than that in the Civic--functionality has been sacrificed in favor of a stylishly lower roofline. Six-foot passengers won't quite fit. see full Acura ILX review
