| 2011 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
They are the comfortable front seats I have ever experienced. I can sit in them for several hours without discomfort, which is not usually the case in other cars. see full Volvo V70 review |

| 2013 Acura ILX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | For me, Acura's front seats provide a very good combination of lateral support and comfort. Opinions of seats are bound to vary from person to person, though, as it's difficult to design one seat to fit all shapes and sizes of people. see full Acura ILX review | |

| Year | Comment | |
| The ILX's rear seat is considerably tighter than that in the Civic--functionality has been sacrificed in favor of a stylishly lower roofline. Six-foot passengers won't quite fit. see full Acura ILX review | ||
