TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Acura MDX

2013 Acura MDX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	That's it for the significant advantages of the new Acura MDX. Most things it does well, but not significantly better than the generally good segment averages. It's quick, but not thrillingly so. The front seats are comfortable and supportive, and cushier than those in the Infiniti, but provide less lateral support than those in the smaller Acura RDX and are no match in comfort or support for those in a BMW X5, a Lexus RX, or the big buck Mercedes reviewed a few weeks ago. Ride quality, like the seats, is good but short of luxurious. With additional sound deadening and laminated front door glass, the 2014 MDX is quieter than the 2013, but this only brings it in line with the others. By the same token, there aren't many clear reasons to reject the 2014 MDX. The most obvious follows from its relatively compact size: though (as already mentioned) cargo volume is more than competitive, there's less room in the rearmost row than in the QX60. By sliding the second row up a couple of inches (it has a half-foot of travel), adults of middling size will fit back there. But with their butt low and knees high they won't be comfortable. The QX60 offers far more combined legroom based on the spec sheets, and a couple more inches in the real world. (The Acura's specs seem to under-represent reality for passengers even as they might over-represent it for cargo.) But the Infiniti's seats are flatter and less comfortable. The new Hyundai Santa Fe offers more legroom than the Infiniti, while Ford's large crossovers could be best of all for transporting up to seven adults--if still not as good as the typical minivan. see full Acura MDX review

2013 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

2006 Honda S2000 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2005	2dr Convertible 240-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	Seats are aggressively bolstered, but fit very comfortably. I am a 6 foot tall slightly overweight male. The seat adjusts adequately to my height, unlike several other convertibles I have driven. see full Honda S2000 review
2005	2dr Convertible 240-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	Fits taller people than other roadsters I have tried. Probably comparable with modern BMW Z4 but I did not try that. see full Honda S2000 review

2007	2dr Convertible 237-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	Seat feels hard and is difficult to get adjusted properly. see full Honda S2000 review
2006	2dr Convertible 237-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	this car is engineered for speed, no wasted space.front quarters are cramped as one would expect with a roadster see full Honda S2000 review
2005	2dr Convertible 240-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	I'm 6' tall with a 33" inseam, 149 lbs, 30" waist. I fit exactly in every direction. The hip width of the seats is exactly mine, the seat is all the way back, and the back is ever so slightly tipped upwards from full back. Comfortable but see full Honda S2000 review
2005	2dr Convertible 240-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	I'm 5' 9" and 185# and of average frame proportions. The seat bolsters are Proportioned for the Asian torso. So, the average-to-large European butt isn't going to appreciate the tight seat bolsters. This is why the bolsters quickly break down and need re-padding with firm foam. see full Honda S2000 review
