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
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Mercury Mariner

2008 Mercury Mariner Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2007 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic AWD
The seats have plush cushioning, lumbar control and position control. The seats are leather/vinyl (I think leather, but not sure) with center punched suede allowing some air circulation. All good for greater comfort on long trips see full Mercury Mariner review
