What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Acura MDX

2011 Acura MDX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The interior prioritizes appearance over actual utility; it's surprisingly cramped for such a large vehicle. For example, my Highlander is roughly the same size externally but seems downright cavernous on the inside in comparison. A rear passenger can fully stretch out in the Toyota. Not so in the Acura. see full Acura MDX review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Audi A3 / S3 / RS3

2017 Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2016 Same goes for rear seat room. The Audi S3's rear seat can be a tight fit for adults, especially if those in the front seats are tall. But at least most adults will fit. My adult-sized children rode in the back seat from Detroit to Nashville and back without complaining about the amount of space. (It helped that none of us are tall; I'm 5-9.) The back seat in the CLA provides far less room for heads and legs. Mercedes markets it as a coupe for a reason. see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review
