2007 Mazda Mazda6 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

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

front seat is designed to short for taller people. see full Mazda Mazda6 review

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
