2015 Mazda Mazda3 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The Mazda3 also isn't a clear choice if a roomy rear seat is a top priority. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, I had little room to spare. The rear seat in the Ford Focus is at least as tight, but has a more comfortably positioned cushion. A Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra, or Toyota Corolla has far more rear seat room. If you like how the Mazda3 looks and drives, but need more rear seat legroom, the Mazda6 offers another three inches for another $2,100 to $3,700 (depending on trim level). see full Mazda Mazda3 review

2006 Chevrolet Impala / Monte Carlo Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Interior room is outstanding. Trunk room is phenomenal, especially with flip and fold flat rear seat. see full Chevrolet Impala / Monte Carlo review
2005	4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 3.4L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Rear seat had good room. Passengers had good leg room. Only adults over 6ft would touch the backs of the front seat with their legs. Draw back was the low roof. see full Chevrolet Impala / Monte Carlo review
