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

The front seats are horrible- similar to airline seats, and no amount of adjusting or adding cushions helped. I'm 6'2 and my wife is 5'3.and neither of us could get comfortable. After 2 weeks, it was actually painful to drive this car. see full Ford Taurus review

Not enough headroom for adults in the rear seat. Seat comfort is as poor as the front seats. see full Ford Taurus review
