The headrest position is horrible for long trips. Felt like my head was being pushed forward. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |
2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The most obvious reason not to buy any Mazda MX-5 Miata? The thing that kept me from buying one: no back seat. The MINI Roadster also had not back seat, while the MINI Convertible and Scion FR-S have vestigial perches on which only my smallest child might sit semi-comfortably. In contrast, I can fit all three of my teenagers into my Mazda RX-8. But if my wife also wants to come along, we have to take our other car. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review |
