2016 Mazda CX-5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
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 |

2007 | 2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The 6 way adjustable drivers seat really makes for a comfortable ride. Driving upwards of 700km a day for 4 days straight gave me a great chance to test this out, and I never once got stiff and sore. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

It fits me perfectly. Actually, so does the rear, but I bought a coupe. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

The rear seat leg-room is not for adults. Only small kids can fit back there. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
In coupe form, the rear seats are cramped and and things can be somewhat claustrophobic in the back. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

It is a sport compact car, so as one would expect, the rear seat is fairly difficult to get to, but once you are there, it is quite comfortable. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
2006 | 2dr Coupe supercharged 205hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The front is great, but you have to be in a car seat or a small person to not mind the back seat. Little legroom, small seats. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

not much room in the back if the front passengers has their seats all the way back see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
