2010 Mazda CX-9 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Seat hugs in the right places without being cumbersome. Headrest position is much better than the midsize GM vehicles I test-drove (Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave). see full Mazda CX-9 review
2009	4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Easy access to third row, good leg room in second and third row. see full Mazda CX-9 review
2009	4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Access to the 3rd row is better than any other 7 passenger SUV I drove. see full Mazda CX-9 review
