2014 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
