2011 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

2010 4dr SUV 187-horsepower 2.7L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Lots of room in the second row, including seats that recline and move back & forth. Having the third row as an option for occasional use was really the deciding factor. see full Toyota Highlander review

seats were hard and flat. Even top of the line luxury model seats were a big disappointment . . . one of the principal reasons we did not choose this vehicle see full Toyota Highlander review
