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 2008 Saab 9-5

2008 Saab 9-5 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Very comfortable even with rear facing car seat behind either driver or passenger seat. Head room was good even with moon roof. see full Saab 9-5 review
2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 These are the best seats ever designed. Really. see full Saab 9-5 review
2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Extremely comfortable and supportive. air-cooled seat option is great in the summer. Front seat ergonomics and comfort blow away those of bmw, infiniti and acura, although leather quality is not as good. see full Saab 9-5 review
