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
