TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata

2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
The first con is the obvious one, and a deal killer for many people. While the FR-S has a barely usable rear seat, the MX-5 Miata has none at all. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Mercury Mariner

2006 Mercury Mariner Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic AWD
The seats have plush cushioning, lumbar control and position control. The seats are leather/vinyl (I think leather, but not sure) with center punched suede allowing some air circulation. All good for greater comfort on long trips see full Mercury Mariner review
2006 Mercury Mariner Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT AWD
Rear seat room is limited, seats firm, but little side support see full Mercury Mariner review
2005 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed automatic AWD
For long drives even with leather it can get uncomfortable. A little more support and padding would be good in the seat. see full Mercury Mariner review
