2014 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 |

Makes my bad back feel better. Large, supportive seat for large person. Plenty of room to move feet around during trips. Lots of adjustments. see full Volkswagen Passat review |

even though GLS has manual front seat controls, the seat moves through a range of motion that is quite adequate for drivers over six feet see full Volkswagen Passat review |

It was roomy for me (6 foot plus and 300lbs) and the seat adjusted to over a wide range. The seat and tiller adjusts so everyone in the family has a good position from which to control the car. see full Volkswagen Passat review |

For a while we had two child seats in the back. That can certainly be done in a smaller car, but the room of a midsize car is appreciated. see full Volkswagen Passat review |
