2013 Mazda Mazda5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2014 | 4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The front seat head rests are horrific. They jut out and force your head, neck and entire upper back into an uncomfortable position. I'm sure this is part of some ill-conceived anti-whiplast design, but it's awful. I'd rather risk some whiplash than drive every day with this! see full Mazda Mazda5 review |
2008 Audi Q7 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2008 | 4dr SUV 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The middle seat of all the SUVs we looked at, had the most room to move furthest forward or backward to allow far rear seat passengers most accommodation. see full Audi Q7 review |
2007 | 4dr SUV 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Rear seat legroom is greater than other vehicles I evaluated in this category: Acura MDX, BMW X5, Mercedes ML; seats more plush; more cargo space. see full Audi Q7 review |
2007 | 4dr SUV 350-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Great front seats for long drives. see full Audi Q7 review |
