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 |

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 |

With three children having ample rear seat space was very important to us. With the tri zone air system makes it comfortable for them as well. see full Toyota Sienna review |
