2011 | 4dr Hatch 271-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
I'm tall - 6-6" - and this is the roomiest and most comfortable car I've ever owned. Comparable to a Yukon for a driver. Great room inside at all seating positions for me. see full Honda Accord Crosstour review |

2007 | 4dr Coupe 212-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Excellent for long trips. Even though I suffer from spinal stenosis, I did a two-day 1800 mile trip with no troubles and felt great on arrival. Most modern cars have comfortable seats, but these also make me feel like I am part of the car. see full Mazda RX-8 review |

Rear seats are functional for adults, which is unique for a sports car. see full Mazda RX-8 review |

Adults my height (5-9) can actually fit in the back seat of the RX-8. And getting in and out is aided by a second set of rear-hinged doors. Other sports cars have no rear seat or a very small one. see full Mazda RX-8 review |

Unlike most sports cars, the RX-8 has a rear seat that adults can get into (using rear doors) and fit into. see full Mazda RX-8 review |

it is POSSIBLE to fit an adult in the back...but really anyone over 10-12 years old will be uncomfortable. see full Mazda RX-8 review |
