What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Mazda Mazda6

2016 Mazda Mazda6 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2016 4dr Sedan 143-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Why doesn't this vehicle have heated front seats (they only cost a tenner or so at manufacturing time) and why doesn't it have electric front seats with memory (it is particularly annoying to have to try and reset the seat after the garage has had the car and adjusted it to their liking)! Again electric front seats don;t really cost anything much to build in. see full Mazda Mazda6 review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Ford Taurus

2006 Ford Taurus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr Sedan 153-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD
Seats are above average in comfort. see full Ford Taurus review
2006 4dr Sedan 153-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD
Front seat room is above average. see full Ford Taurus review
2005 4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD
We chose this wagon initially because it was the only sedan we could find that fit 2 carseats and an adult, or 3 carseats comfortably in the rear seat. Also, the two additional seats in the cargo area are nice if there are more kids along. see full Ford Taurus review
2005 4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6

Great for long drives, lots of little "smart" features. see full Ford Taurus review
