Angle of rear doors and seat do not work well when trying to get in and out. Worse if using as family car and trying to get child in/out of car seat. see full Ford Fusion review |

The R3 Recaro seats had side bolsters that were a bit tight for us. I am below average in size as a male, and my wife is also very small and we found the bolsters cut into our hips far more than was comfortable. The seats are racing oriented only. see full Mazda RX-8 review |
