TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The most obvious reason not to buy any Mazda MX-5 Miata? The thing that kept me from buying one: no back seat. The MINI Roadster also had not back seat, while the MINI Convertible and Scion FR-S have vestigial perches on which only my smallest child might sit semi-comfortably. In contrast, I can fit all three of my teenagers into my Mazda RX-8. But if my wife also wants to come along, we have to take our other car. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review

2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	3rd row seats are big enough and comfortable enough for an adult. 2nd row seats are the best captain chairs I have ever sat in in a car. Glass roof gives additional room appearance. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2007	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Great front view, comfortable seats. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2007	4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	There is excellent legroom in the middle and rear seats. All four recline. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2007	4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Outstanding room in the second row- tons of leg room. Very comfortable see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2006	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The STANDARD leather seating surfaces on the 2006 front seats - way better feel than artico leather. The adjustment range to get things just right and the head rest. Very cozy. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2006	4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	3 row seating see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2006	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	This has to be, by far, the roomiest Mercedes period. Back seat comfort, even in the third row, is unmatched. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2006	4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Seating for 6. Great for kids. Easy to get into. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
