What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Chevrolet Traverse

2013 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
2013 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

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
2012 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Although the rear captain seats are quite comfortable, I do not like how they roll forward. There is a track in the floor in which the rear seats fold and slide up behind the front seats. All I notice when in the back seat is how extremely difficult it is to clean out the mud and grit and salt (I live in Canada, we use salt on our roads) that gets left behind in the track from passenger footwear. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Mazda Mazda6

2006 Mazda Mazda6 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.3L I4
6-speed manual AWD
It took a while for me to adjust the seat properly, but after I did, I have to say the seating position and comfort rivaled many European sedans I have driven. I was not used to this level of comfort from an Asian-designed automobile. see full Mazda Mazda6 review
2005 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
I can fit three car seats in it. I can put my seat as far back as I need to and most adults can still sit comfortably in the back. see full Mazda Mazda6 review
2005 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Large enough for a six foot fiver and still room in the back. see full Mazda Mazda6 review
2006 Mazda Mazda6 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
front seat is designed to short for taller people. see full Mazda Mazda6 review
2006 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.3L I4
6-speed manual AWD
For short trips the Speed6 is fine. Longer than 2 hours in the car kills my back. Maybe the seats are cheaper in the Sport vs. the GT. Fortunately I've only taken 1 or 2 very long trips in it. see full Mazda Mazda6 review
2006 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.3L I4
6-speed manual AWD
Too small for adults. see full Mazda Mazda6 review
