| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 4dr Hatch 155-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |

| 2013 | 4dr Hatch 155-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Rear seat a bit tight, needs more room back there. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |
| 2012 | 4dr Hatch 155-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Rear seat is rather tight, worse than my old Protege5 see full Mazda Mazda3 review |

It's a joke. You can't fit anything in the back seat aside from children and/or groceries/shopping. Putting an adult back there will require a sincere apology, and possibly a written note and gift bottle of wine. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 155-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Non of either if the front seats are all the way back, but rear seat room is NOT a factor for me. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |

I bought this car to replace a 2004 Mazda 6i Hatchback that I truly loved (got rear-ended and totaled). I did not like the 2012 Mazda 6 at all (or the milage it got), so I went the 3 with Skyactiv. The rear seat and rear legroom is just a bit too small. If it were a tad larger, this would be a awesome car, but the great mileage I get offsets this to a certain degree. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 104-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Seating room is borderline for 2 adults, particularly leg room. 3 adults virtually impossible. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 167-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The Mazda3 is not a vehicle for transporting more than 2 people. The backseat is cramped for a full-size adult. However, when required, they will fit. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2007 Nissan Murano

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
Feels more expensive and luxurious, like a Jaguar see full Nissan Murano review |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
It is large enough to comfortably seat three people, plus still having a large capacity trunk. see full Nissan Murano review |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
Perfect for a taller person; longer seat bottom gives better support; 8 way seat lets one get just the right position. see full Nissan Murano review |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD |
Even I can ride in the back seat. Not something that I can do in a lot of cars. see full Nissan Murano review |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT AWD |
Can fit 4 150lb persons easy. Plenty of room to move around with 3 any size! see full Nissan Murano review |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
Lots of stretch out space. Not cramped. see full Nissan Murano review |

Foot room not cramped. Lots of stretch room. see full Nissan Murano review |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT AWD |
Plenty of room for an adult to stretch out and the reclining rear seats make it that much nicer. see full Nissan Murano review |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT AWD |
Room for 4 regular size! need to say more! see full Nissan Murano review |

| 2007 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
I had a Camaro once, and the seats would have been better suited to that, rather than a crossover to take to work and back. The lumbar hurt, no matter where I set it. see full Nissan Murano review |
