We bought this vehicle to replace a 4-door sedan in order to have more room for our grandchildren. Eventually they will be old enough to sit in the thrid row seats. see full Mazda CX-9 review |

Very flexible seating positions. Middle row adjusts so you can tailor leg room for the rear most passengers or provide second row with max space if desired. see full Mazda CX-9 review |

Third row seats fairly easy to get into and are comfortable, second row slides for and aft and tilts a bit. Third row easy to pull up and let down. see full Mazda CX-9 review |

Front seats felt snug and the center console intruded on the driver side knee room. see full Mazda CX-9 review |

I would rather have more second row leg room and no third row. My third row is always folded down for cargo anyway. see full Mazda CX-9 review |

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2020 Hyundai Elantra
| 2020 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2021 | Though adjustments to their shape are limited to power lumbar, the new Hyundai Elantra's well-bolstered front seats fit me especially well. Your size and shape likely differ from mine, so impressions of seat comfort will vary. Whether they fit or not, in the Elantra Limited (unlike in the Forte) they are upholstered in real leather and would not appear out of place in an Audi. see full Hyundai Elantra review | |
| 2020 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| Rear seat passengers enjoy abundant knee room, but those of more than middling height will find headroom and thigh support marginal at best. These weaknesses are fairly common in current compact sedans, but the Forte, with a taller, less swoopy roof line, has a more comfortably positioned rear seat and a bit more rear headroom. see full Hyundai Elantra review | ||
