2011 Acura TSX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I find the heated front seats exceptionally comfortable. I am 6' 2" and have very good room. Note, however, that my wife finds the forward lean in the headrests uncomfortable. see full Acura TSX review
2010	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Drove 4 straight hours in these seats. They hug in corners and don't leave you butt feeling numb even after long drives. Not many seats out there that are more comfortable (Volvo is one of the makers that comes to mind with better seats) see full Acura TSX review

2011 Acura TSX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD	The rear seats are fairly comfortable, but they only provide about 34" of legroom, and there is very little clearance below the seats. see full Acura TSX review
2010	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The rear seats can be a little tight for people on the tallish side (for me, anything above 5'10"). This can get more complicated with a tall driver/front passenger and tall rear seat occupants. see full Acura TSX review
2010	4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The trunk space is adequate, but get a hatchback or wagon (or SUV if you're into that sort of thing) if you're going to regularly carrying anything more than the usual grocery bags, suitcases, golf bags, etc. That said, the 60/40 split fold rear seats will allow for surprisingly longish items to fit (managed a 6 foot ladder, barely). see full Acura TSX review
