2018 Mazda Mazda6 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

The Mazda6 has one clear disadvantage compared to the Honda Accord: a much less roomy (if comfortable) rear seat. There are at least three more inches of knee room in the back seat of the Honda, a dramatic difference.
Mazda redesigned the Mazda6's front seats for 2018, aiming to make them wider and more comfortable. I found them reasonably comfortable, but not exceptional. The side bolsters are on the small side for a car with some sporting pretensions.

The Mazda6 has a smaller rear seat, no way around it. That being said, I find it to be more richly appointed than the Legacy's with the same great materials as up-front and cool touches: the USB ports are in the center armrest with a covered storage cubby, and the rear seat heaters are 3-level with controls in the armrest. These touches are reminiscent of very high-end luxury cars and are more convenient locations in general. The Mazda's heated rear seats also seem to be stronger than the Legacy's.
---
The seats follow the same theme as the front in both cars- softer/plusher in the Legacy, firmer but well shaped in the Mazda.
---
The front seat-backs are more upscale in the Mazda, and the rear seat of the Mazda has ambient lighting in the door pockets (unlike the Legacy). Overall, the rear cabin of the Mazda is snugger but remains comfortable while carrying on the quality and elegance of the front. For space though, the Legacy still grabs a Win here.

From the neck down, the Encore's high-mounted, cushy-yet-firm seats deliver comfort congruent with its mission. Some people also won't have a problem with their design from the neck up. Others will find the headrests uncomfortable and too far forward.
Given the Encore's compact exterior, it should come as no surprise that even the more-compact-than-most-compact-crossovers Tucson has a few more inches for both shoulders and legs. But the Buick nevertheless has enough room inside to comfortably seat four good-sized adults. It helps that the rear seat is comfortably high off the floor and that there's a lot of room for the rear passengers' feet beneath the front seats. Children, especially those who've outgrown boosters, will have more to complain about. They'll easily fit, but their view outward through the small, high rear side windows will be limited to the treetops.
Though the front seats in the Tucson aren't as comfortable as those in the Encore, with a less luxurious feel and less supportive side bolsters, their headrests aren't overly intrusive. Rear seat passengers won't find the cushion as comfortably positioned, but small ones will have a somewhat easier time seeing out its side windows.
