2012 Mazda Mazda6 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
