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

2013 Compared to any midsize sedan, the Accord Coupe's rear seat is tight and difficult to get into and out of. At 5-9 I can sit behind myself, but with only an inch between my scalp and the rear window and about the same between my knees and the front seat back. The rear seat is only in the "whys" here because it's being compared to the rear seats in other coupes, including the Hyundai's, and these are even tighter. Same story with cargo capacity. The Accord Coupe's 13.7 cubic-foot trunk would be marginally competitive in a midsize sedan, but it compares very well to those in other coupes. The Genesis Coupe checks in at 10.0. see full Honda Accord review

Another reason I'm glad I got the EX model. The power lumbar on the drivers seat is my backs best friend. Even after 16 hour days and 1100 miles, my back is fine. Excellent seats! see full Honda Accord review

6'4" and plenty of head and leg room. Leather seats and lumbar support fit me well. see full Honda Accord review

Many reviews online state how comforable the seats are in the Accord, I cannot agree with them. I have owned a 2013 Altima as well and it is much more comfortable, but that car has a stability problem on the highway. see full Honda Accord review

Front headrests are inclined too far forward, making the seats very uncomfortable for shorter drivers. Drivers taller than 6'3" won't have a problem. But as a shorter driver, the uncomfortable seats have caused extreme upper back pain. see full Honda Accord review
