2007 Mazda Mazda6 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual AWD	It took a while for me to adjust the seat properly, but after I did, I have to say the seating position and comfort rivaled many European sedans I have driven. I was not used to this level of comfort from an Asian-designed automobile. see full Mazda Mazda6 review

2007 Mazda Mazda6 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	front seat is designed to short for taller people. see full Mazda Mazda6 review
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual AWD	For short trips the Speed6 is fine. Longer than 2 hours in the car kills my back. Maybe the seats are cheaper in the Sport vs. the GT. Fortunately I've only taken 1 or 2 very long trips in it. see full Mazda Mazda6 review
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual AWD	Too small for adults. see full Mazda Mazda6 review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze

2017 Chevrolet Cruze Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	The old Chevrolet Cruze, like the Ford Focus, had a rear seat on the tight side even by compact sedan standards. According to the specs, the new one has only gained a few tenths of legroom. But the improvement feels much larger. Chevrolet claims that rear knee room (not a standard spec) has increased by two inches, and this aligns much better with my perceptions. Some competitors, including the Honda Civic, continue to offer more rear seat space. But the new Cruze's back seat could be the most comfortable in the class for two average-sized men. With a position well above the floor, the rear seat cushion provides much better thigh support than the typical sedan, much less the typical compact sedan. The Civic has a lower rear cushion and insufficient foot space under its front seats, squandering its on-paper legroom advantage. Up front the Cruze has comfortable seats (though, like those in the Civic, without adjustable lumbar support) but shoulder room typical of a compact car. The Civic has two more inches of shoulder room and feels more like a midsize sedan in the front seat. Both cars have good driving positions with reasonably compact instrument panels. In L and LS trim, the new Cruze has a 14.9-cubic-foot trunk, nearly identical to that of the new Civic and about as large as you'll find in the class. But the LT and Premier have a compact spare tire that reduces cargo volume to 13.6 cubic feet. Still pretty good. Next year both cars will also be available as hatchbacks. see full Chevrolet Cruze review
