2018 Mazda CX-5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
According to the official specs, the Mazda CX-5 offers about a half-inch more rear legroom than the RDX. In reality, though, the Acura has an extra inch or so. While neither is cramped, you'll find significantly more rear seat legroom in a Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, or Toyota RAV4. If you'll be putting three people in back, the Acura does have the advantage of two additional inches of shoulder room. The RDX's additional width might not be good for handling agility, but it is very good for a rear center passenger. see full Mazda CX-5 review |

Extremely comfortable backseat, although serious hump in the center eliminates almost all leg room for center seat. Four in comfort all day long, large armrest, good visibility forward and to the side. Nice support, split folding seats and cargo passthru see full Pontiac G8 review |

Cannot get comfortable - ever. Hurts my lower back after just 15 mins. I have the leather seats w/ premium package. No lateral support/bolstering either. Lumbar support useless. see full Pontiac G8 review |
