2012 Mazda Mazda6 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed manual FWD
I am six feet tall with a long torso and legs, so I usually have the seat pretty far back. With the front seat in a comfortable position, the rear seats have plenty of leg and head room for adults, even more so for my kids. see full Mazda Mazda6 review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2018 Toyota Highlander

2018 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2018 4dr SUV 295-horsepower 3.5L V6
8-speed shiftable automatic AWD
3rd row seat is midget sized. Claiming that the Highlander is an 8-passenger vehicle is a lie. It's either 5 normal-sized people, or Snow White and the 7 dwarfs. There is no way you can accommodate 8 normal-sized people comfortably in this car. see full Toyota Highlander review
