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

Very roomy, we have had 6 adults (total) in the car many times, even the third row passengers are comfortable, with the exception of possibly leg room if you are tall. But in no way do you feel squished. see full Buick Enclave review
