What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Acura MDX

2012 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
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 GMC Acadia

2011 GMC Acadia Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The third room has enough head room to even fit an adult comfortably and is wide enough to accommodate three individuals. It is one of the few SUV's that offer 8 seat capacity and has a larger interior capacity than a Tahoe. see full GMC Acadia review

we travel with adults not children and find the 2nd row very comfortable. see full GMC Acadia review
2010 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Better 2nd & 3rd row comfort than the Honda Minivan (this is to be a daily driver for a family with 4 kids under 10) see full GMC Acadia review
