What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Mazda Mazda5

2015 Mazda Mazda5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

2007 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4

2007 Subaru Forester Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2007 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed automatic AWD		 Not acceptable for an adult in any of the three rear seating positions see full Subaru Forester review
2006 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD		 Again, cramped and too small for larger people. see full Subaru Forester review
2006 4dr SUV turbocharged 230hp 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD		 This is honesty the only complaint i have about the 2006 XT. The rear seat is a bit tight. We took three other adults on about a 4 hour trip and it was a tight fit - good thing we're good friends! My wife's 2009 Forester is much better in the rear legroom department. see full Subaru Forester review
