Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2006 | 4dr SUV 216-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
The third row seating configuration is just ingenious. Adults can ride comfortably and the seats stow flat with little effort. see full Land Rover LR3 review |
2005 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 4.4L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
Three rows of seats. Seven people can actually fit. Two child sets and an adult can fit in the second row. Two human beings can fit in the third. see full Land Rover LR3 review |

2014 Mazda Mazda3 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Mazda3 also isn't a clear choice if a roomy rear seat is a top priority. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, I had little room to spare. The rear seat in the Ford Focus is at least as tight, but has a more comfortably positioned cushion. A Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra, or Toyota Corolla has far more rear seat room. If you like how the Mazda3 looks and drives, but need more rear seat legroom, the Mazda6 offers another three inches for another $2,100 to $3,700 (depending on trim level). see full Mazda Mazda3 review |
