2dr Hatch 436-horsepower 6.2L V8 6-speed manual RWD
Front seats are designed for fat people. They need to redesign them to be more snug feel.

2011 Mazda RX-8 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year Body/Powertrain Comment
2010
4dr Coupe 232-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD
The R3 Recaro seats had side bolsters that were a bit tight for us. I am below average in size as a male, and my wife is also very small and we found the bolsters cut into our hips far more than was comfortable. The seats are racing oriented only.
