2015 Mazda Mazda5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||

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 |

Angle of rear doors and seat do not work well when trying to get in and out. Worse if using as family car and trying to get child in/out of car seat. see full Ford Fusion review |
