What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Mazda Mazda6

2012 Mazda Mazda6 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed manual FWD
I am six feet tall with a long torso and legs, so I usually have the seat pretty far back. With the front seat in a comfortable position, the rear seats have plenty of leg and head room for adults, even more so for my kids. see full Mazda Mazda6 review

2010 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6

2009 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6

With a 6-foot driver, rear seat room is barely adequate for adults, for short trips. This is typical for this car segment, though. see full BMW 3-Series review
