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

2008 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Front seats felt snug and the center console intruded on the driver side knee room. see full Mazda CX-9 review
2008 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I would rather have more second row leg room and no third row. My third row is always folded down for cargo anyway. see full Mazda CX-9 review
