2013 Ford C-MAX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
There's plenty of space for adults in the back seat of the C-MAX. But the seat is mounted too low to provide thigh support, and between this and the angle of the floor I could find no comfortable way to position my legs and feet. There's a huge amount of headroom, so this was not the limiting factor. Instead, the seat seems to be so low to enable a flat floor when it is folded without requiring that the seat bottom be folded separately from the seat back. Combine the low seat with a high beltline (bottom of the side windows), and children can't see out well. see full Ford C-MAX review |

We bought this vehicle to replace a 4-door sedan in order to have more room for our grandchildren. Eventually they will be old enough to sit in the thrid row seats. see full Mazda CX-9 review |

Very flexible seating positions. Middle row adjusts so you can tailor leg room for the rear most passengers or provide second row with max space if desired. see full Mazda CX-9 review |

Third row seats fairly easy to get into and are comfortable, second row slides for and aft and tilts a bit. Third row easy to pull up and let down. see full Mazda CX-9 review |

I would rather have more second row leg room and no third row. My third row is always folded down for cargo anyway. see full Mazda CX-9 review |
