2010 Mazda CX-9 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2011 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Seat hugs in the right places without being cumbersome. Headrest position is much better than the midsize GM vehicles I test-drove (Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave). see full Mazda CX-9 review

2012 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6

Although the rear captain seats are quite comfortable, I do not like how they roll forward. There is a track in the floor in which the rear seats fold and slide up behind the front seats. All I notice when in the back seat is how extremely difficult it is to clean out the mud and grit and salt (I live in Canada, we use salt on our roads) that gets left behind in the track from passenger footwear. see full Chevrolet Traverse review

The headrest position is horrible for long trips. Felt like my head was being pushed forward. see full Chevrolet Traverse review
