2016 Mazda Mazda6 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

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 |

Interior and cargo space are roomy for a compact car. Lots of head & leg room for front and back seats. Easy to get in and out of front seats. Trunk is big. For a small car that's easy to park there's plenty of interior space. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

I will say the rear seat was fairly comfortable although my hair was brushing up against the ceiling. Impossible to put 4 people in this car comfortably. see full Suzuki SX4 review |
