2009 | 4dr Sedan 325-horsepower 4.5L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Huge rear seat with tons of space. Passengers routinly comment on how comfortable it is. Significantly more rear seat room then 5 series BMW. Ininiti G35/37 has more rear seat than the 5 series. see full Infiniti M review |

2012 Acura MDX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
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 |
