Still plenty of room for two boys (6, 10) in back seat, and also ample room when one of their buddies comes along. And 2 adults can ride comfortably back there, although probably best for short trips. see full Infiniti G review |

It is a coupe, so rear seat room is a given at limited. Anyone that is relatively tall will have a problem sitting back there. see full Infiniti G review |

Required a great deal of flexibility to get into the back then the lack of any headroom caused me to sit at an angle. Very few friends willing to ride in the back for any time at all. see full Infiniti G review |

2015 Mazda CX-5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
There's no clear winner in rear seat room and comfort, either. The Mazda's rear seat is mounted a little lower than the Toyota's, and when sitting in it my knees are considerably closer (if still not close) to the front seat backs. Also, the Toyota's rear seat reclines, while the Mazda's does not. Neither car has air vents in the rear passenger compartment, but the RAV4 has a large vent high on the instrument panel apparently intended to push cool air into the rear seat via the ceiling. To counter these RAV4 advantages, the CX-5 offers about five inches more rear hip room. So three passengers will fit more comfortably. see full Mazda CX-5 review |

Soon after I bought the Mazda, I did an 8 hour trip in it. I found the seat comfort to be most satisfactory. I had no trouble finding a comfortable driving position using the power seat, and, the lumbar support. see full Mazda CX-5 review |

While recently shopping for a new car for the first time in over 10 years, I found that driver's seats are now made with high sides. For me, a 5'1" female driver, this makes it a bit awkward getting in and out. Combined with the higher ground clearance of a compact SUV, it's not the ideal setup. The Mazda CX-5 is not as bad as others, but it's still an issue. see full Mazda CX-5 review |
