2007 | 4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Extremly comfortable. You have to sit in it to understand. The leather seat is more comfortable than the cloth seat. see full Chevrolet HHR review |
2007 | 4dr Wagon 149-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The rear seat room is relatively large. On long road trips when i am not driving, my back starts to hurt and i cant find a comfortable position to sit in. see full Chevrolet HHR review |

2007 | 4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Rear seats fit adults or kids in car seats adequately, especially for an economy car. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

Great, height adjustable driver seat, with good lumbar support. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

Second row seats have lots of room, can slide fore and aft, and can recline. The passenger seats up in a chair-like posture, with great support for thighs. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |
2006 | 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Tons of rear seat room, and the second row seats can slide back/forth and recline. Third row is reserved for small children, however. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

Can easily and comfortably seat six (6!) adults in a small package with storage space remaining. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

The rear doors are the sliding type, which is the most practical (and brilliant) type of rear doors for children. I also like the fact that the middle seats recline and slide, they have storage under the cushions, and a third row of usable seating! see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

Flexible layout. Individual captains chairs in the middle row provides ample space. 3rd row is best left for kids under pre teens, but a short trip would be ok for adults. 2nd and 3rd rows seats can be folded down flat individually. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

With the seat all back, there is not much room for anyone over six feet tall. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |

Tight fit once the front seats are slid back. Third row is useless if the second row is slid back. see full Mazda Mazda5 review |
