2011 | 4dr Hatch 100-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The rear seats are pretty good but the headrests are poorly executed. They either poke the passenger in the back or put their head in an uncomfortable position. see full Mazda Mazda2 review |

Rear seat leg room cramped. Aparently moved forward to make room for 3rd row seating. 2nd row seats should be adjustable front to back. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review |
