TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Mazda MX-5 Miata

2012 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

2010 Suzuki SX4 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Hatch 150-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed manual 4WD
Very little room for driver and passengers. Driver is almost touching windshield by a forehead. A small leg room too especially for driver and rear passengers. see full Suzuki SX4 review
2009 4dr Hatch 143-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic 4WD
I will say the rear seat was fairly comfortable although my hair was brushing up against the ceiling. Impossible to put 4 people in this car comfortably. see full Suzuki SX4 review
2009 4dr Hatch 143-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic 4WD
Space behind rear seats unacceptable. see full Suzuki SX4 review
