TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Mazda Mazda3

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 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	3rd row seats are big enough and comfortable enough for an adult. 2nd row seats are the best captain chairs I have ever sat in in a car. Glass roof gives additional room appearance. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2007	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Great front view, comfortable seats. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2007	4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	There is excellent legroom in the middle and rear seats. All four recline. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2007	4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Outstanding room in the second row- tons of leg room. Very comfortable see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2006	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The STANDARD leather seating surfaces on the 2006 front seats - way better feel than artico leather. The adjustment range to get things just right and the head rest. Very cozy. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2006	4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	3 row seating see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2006	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	This has to be, by far, the roomiest Mercedes period. Back seat comfort, even in the third row, is unmatched. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2006	4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Seating for 6. Great for kids. Easy to get into. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
