What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Mazda Mazda6

2006 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
2005	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I can fit three car seats in it. I can put my seat as far back as I need to and most adults can still sit comfortably in the back. see full Mazda Mazda6 review
2005	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Large enough for a six foot fiver and still room in the back. see full Mazda Mazda6 review

2006 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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Nissan Quest

2015 Nissan Quest Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Minivan, ext. 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD	Here's the main reason I bought this van: my kids! Of all the vans we tested, they believed the second and third row seats were the most comfortable. Some may laugh at the boxy shape and fat rear end of the Quest, but the reason it's designed that way is because it maximizes interior room. I'm 6'1" (taller in the torso than legs) and even I think the van is spacious when I sit in the third row. The head and shoulder room is incredible. The seats are all very comfortable. The soft suspension makes riding as a passenger a pleasure. So, despite all the shortcomings I mention in this review, in my opinion, the Quest tops all the competitors in the category of passenger and driver comfort. The pleasing and luxurious interior materials contribute to this. Too bad the production of this iteration of the Quest appears to be in its final chapter. see full Nissan Quest review
