2007 | 2dr Convertible 166-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual RWD |
It's OK for the driver, but there's not much room for the feet of the passenger. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review |
2006 | 2dr Convertible 170-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual RWD |
Taller drivers will fit, but you have to get the seat JUST right. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review |
2005 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 178hp 1.8L I4 6-speed manual RWD |
There is no backseat, but this is a SPORTS CAR! see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review |
2012 Dodge Grand Caravan Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||

I dislike the current emphasis on hard seats (and this applies to most other brands as well- Toyotas and Hondas are the worst). Enthusiast magazines can rave all they want about great support, etc, but the softer seats in friend's '92 Caravan are more comfortable than these in my 2013. I have an SXT model, which is sort of mid level in Grand Caravans, and it does have a power seat. However, that is an OPTION, and it should be standard above the SE model. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |

Nice car, but front seats could be better. Close to a deal breaker. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review |
