2011 Acura MDX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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

2014 Ford Fiesta Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Just as the Ford Fiesta has some clear strengths, it also has some clear weaknesses. Its rear seat, though comfortably positioned well off the floor, is the tightest in the segment. At 5-9, I can barely squeeze behind myself. The Fit's rear seat is far roomier. see full Ford Fiesta review

2014 Ford Fiesta Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Narrow car with narrow seats. If you are a taller/bigger person, expect that the seats will feel like doll furniture after an hour. see full Ford Fiesta review
