Minimal rear seat leg room. Our kids are 9 & 8 - we are having to look for a replacement car as they are getting too big for this one. To offset the front seats are as comfortable as I have experienced in a car. Now considering an S80 or XC70. see full Volvo S60 review |

The rear leg room for this mid sized sedan is pretty poor. if you or your friends and family are over 5 and half feet tall you will not fit four people in this car comfortably see full Volvo S60 review |

If an average sized driver has the front seats in a comfortable position, children in the back still have their legs nearly pinned against the back of the seats in front of them. The seats theselves are very comfortable, though. see full Volvo S60 review |

Forget about rear leg room. If you have adults sitting back there, they will be uncomfortable unless you push the front seats way up to give them legroom. In which case the front driver passenger will be uncomfortable. see full Volvo S60 review |
2004 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed automatic FWD |
Though I have no intention of sitting in the rear seat, it would be uncomfortable for an adult for an extended trip of more than 30 minutes or so. It simply has no legroom. see full Volvo S60 review |

If you have adult passengers on a long drive its way too small. see full Volvo S60 review |

2015 Acura MDX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
That's it for the significant advantages of the new Acura MDX. Most things it does well, but not significantly better than the generally good segment averages. It's quick, but not thrillingly so. The front seats are comfortable and supportive, and cushier than those in the Infiniti, but provide less lateral support than those in the smaller Acura RDX and are no match in comfort or support for those in a BMW X5, a Lexus RX, or the big buck Mercedes reviewed a few weeks ago. Ride quality, like the seats, is good but short of luxurious. With additional sound deadening and laminated front door glass, the 2014 MDX is quieter than the 2013, but this only brings it in line with the others. By the same token, there aren't many clear reasons to reject the 2014 MDX. The most obvious follows from its relatively compact size: though (as already mentioned) cargo volume is more than competitive, there's less room in the rearmost row than in the QX60. By sliding the second row up a couple of inches (it has a half-foot of travel), adults of middling size will fit back there. But with their butt low and knees high they won't be comfortable. The QX60 offers far more combined legroom based on the spec sheets, and a couple more inches in the real world. (The Acura's specs seem to under-represent reality for passengers even as they might over-represent it for cargo.) But the Infiniti's seats are flatter and less comfortable. The new Hyundai Santa Fe offers more legroom than the Infiniti, while Ford's large crossovers could be best of all for transporting up to seven adults--if still not as good as the typical minivan. see full Acura MDX review |
