2010 Mazda CX-9 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Easy access to third row, good leg room in second and third row. see full Mazda CX-9 review

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 0 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The front seats are horrible- similar to airline seats, and no amount of adjusting or adding cushions helped. I'm 6'2 and my wife is 5'3.and neither of us could get comfortable. After 2 weeks, it was actually painful to drive this car. see full Ford Taurus review
2012 0 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Not enough headroom for adults in the rear seat. Seat comfort is as poor as the front seats. see full Ford Taurus review
