2014 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The second row captain's chairs are roomy and comfortable. The third row bench seat has a surprising amount of space, in particular with the 2nd row seats slid forward some. see full Chevrolet Traverse review

2014 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The seats we have on our LT are fine but the headrest on both cars I've had jut out too far and cannot be adjusted back far enough to be comfortable. This is particularly uncomfortable on longer trips. see full Chevrolet Traverse review

2020 Mazda CX-5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	According to the official specs, the Mazda CX-5 offers about a half-inch more rear legroom than the RDX. In reality, though, the Acura has an extra inch or so. While neither is cramped, you'll find significantly more rear seat legroom in a Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, or Toyota RAV4. If you'll be putting three people in back, the Acura does have the advantage of two additional inches of shoulder room. The RDX's additional width might not be good for handling agility, but it is very good for a rear center passenger. see full Mazda CX-5 review
