Large trunk space seems to sacrifise rear seat area. see full Chevrolet Impala / Monte Carlo review |

When the drivers seat is all the way back there is little rear seat legroom for tall folks. see full Chevrolet Impala / Monte Carlo review |

2014 | 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The front seat head rests are horrific. They jut out and force your head, neck and entire upper back into an uncomfortable position. I'm sure this is part of some ill-conceived anti-whiplast design, but it's awful. I'd rather risk some whiplash than drive every day with this! see full Mazda Mazda5 review |
