What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2010 Mazda CX-9

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
2009 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Easy access to third row, good leg room in second and third row. see full Mazda CX-9 review
2009 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Access to the 3rd row is better than any other 7 passenger SUV I drove. see full Mazda CX-9 review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Hyundai Elantra

2012 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 0 Seats mold to your body and they heat up fast which helps in winter. see full Hyundai Elantra review
2012 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 This is really not a con. If they offered the option of a front passenger power seat with lumbar as an option, I along with many others would likely opt for it. see full Hyundai Elantra review
2011 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 impossible for me to check rear when reversing. headrests are too big. see full Hyundai Elantra review
