2011 Mazda Mazda2 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2011 | 4dr Hatch 100-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Adequate, but no more, for a large 6 footer. see full Mazda Mazda2 review |

2011 | 4dr Hatch 100-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The rear seats are pretty good but the headrests are poorly executed. They either poke the passenger in the back or put their head in an uncomfortable position. see full Mazda Mazda2 review |

2005 | 4dr SUT turbocharged 210hp 2.5L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
6 footers are going to have issues getting in and out. Also they will have to recline the seat too much just to keep their heads from hitting the roof. see full Subaru Baja review |
