2006 Acura RSX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||

2006 | 2dr Hatch 201-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The rear seat is not much use if the front passengers are over 6ft. Very little head/leg room. But you don’t buy this type of car to haul 4 people around. But in a pinch I’ve had 4 in there, and I’m 6’4”. see full Acura RSX review |
