TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata

2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
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

I tested both the Mini Cooper and Volvo C30. The C30, by far, is the most comfortable and easy to find a great driving position. Driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco without any back or shoulder fatigue! see full Volvo C30 review
