I did manage to get four people in the car but it was tight and the two in the back seat were not big adults (under 5'8"). We had to adjust the front passenger seat up a bit to make more room for the person behind. see full Kia Rio review |

There's enough room for four adults inside the Mazda CX-5. But the Honda CR-V and some others are considerably roomier. Want an occasional third-row seat? While Nissan and Volkswagen offer one in their compact crossovers, Mazda does not. 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 |
