2018 Lexus ES Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2019	From 2014 on Mazdas have had their front wheels located farther from the passenger compartment than the typical front-wheel-drive car. This opens up space for larger exhaust manifolds behind the engine, for improved performance and efficiency. It also gives the cars more attractive, rear-wheel-drive-like proportions. But it has a price: reduced rear legroom. The Lexus ES provides rear seat passengers with much more room to stretch their legs. Sitting in the rear seat, I can barely reach the front seatback with an outstretched arm. While the first few generations of the Lexus ES were related to the Toyota Camry, the 2013 and 2019 are related to the larger Toyota Avalon. This said, I should also note that the rear seat cushion is the Lexus is mounted somehwat low to the floor, so rear seat passengers also have more need to stretch out if they desire under-thigh support. The new Lexus ES is the sleekest and sportiest to date, and sporty rear roof line's also have a price. see full Lexus ES review

2006 Saab 9-2X Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Cramped rear seat leg room. Rear door opening tight at shoe level. Swooping c-pillar design obstructs outward visibility. see full Saab 9-2X review
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Lack of any type of lumbar support is very uncomfortable. I opened the seat and installed my own inflatable device...much better now. see full Saab 9-2X review
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Somewhat cramped rear legroom. see full Saab 9-2X review
