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 |
2014 Volvo XC60 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | Volvos have long been renowned for seat comfort, and the XC60 continues this tradition with seats that are thoroughly supportive without being as firm as those in the Cadillac and in the German crossovers. This said, some people might find the headrests overly intrusive. The Inscription Package adds power lumbar adjusters to both seats. Otherwise these adjusters are manual. Notable in its absence: front seat ventilation, offered in the Audi and Cadillac, isn't an option in the XC60. Also, no massage. see full Volvo XC60 review |
