2011 Lexus ES Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Not very supportive. Felt like a hollowed out barrel. Only support was on the outside edges. see full Lexus ES review

2009 Mazda CX-7 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV turbocharged 244hp 2.3L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	seats in rear are tight, they do not slide or recline where as Honda CRV rear seats are much more flexible for kids and families. My crv is 2007 and the rear seats recline and the entire bench can slide front and back to create instant leg room see full Mazda CX-7 review
