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 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 228-horsepower 3.0L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 The seat causes no discomfort to my tailbone like many ohter cars. Furthermore, the padding is firm and feels like it will last a long time. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
2009 4dr Sedan 228-horsepower 3.0L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Mercedes-Benz makes the best seats in the business, period. Even after a 10 hour drive, my back did not hurt. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan supercharged 181hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Not much leg room when compared to other luxury entries. No flat floor so a 3rd passenger in the rear is not possible. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
2009 4dr Sedan supercharged 181hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Center console and stack cut into front side leg room, my left leg is always up against the center console. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
2008 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 just ok see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
2008 4dr Sedan supercharged 181hp 1.8L I4
