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

2012 Volvo C30 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD	The front seats are wonderful. I tend to get stiff and sore when I sit too long in a car, especially my old VW GTI and our other VW Passat wagon. These seats in the C30 are very comfortable and I felt good getting out after a long drive. see full Volvo C30 review
2011	2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Excellent support for very long drives. Passengers in the rear say the same. see full Volvo C30 review

2012 Volvo C30 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2011	2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Lack of leg room. This car is a two seater. see full Volvo C30 review
