2010 Mazda RX-8 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2009 | 4dr Coupe 232-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD |
Very comfortable Recaro seats, even on long drives. Larger people may not be comfortable so beware. see full Mazda RX-8 review |

Given the RX-8's compact dimensions, you wouldn't expect rear seat space to be a strength. But thanks to clever packaging and a subtly high roofline, there is actually space for real adults in back, provided those up front are short or move their seats up somewhat. With a pair of pickup-like rear-opening "half" rear doors, ingress and egress for rear seat passengers is a snap. For those who want a sports car but have children or need to transport a few friends occassionally, the RX-8 fits the bill nicely. see full Mazda RX-8 review |

The R3 Recaro seats had side bolsters that were a bit tight for us. I am below average in size as a male, and my wife is also very small and we found the bolsters cut into our hips far more than was comfortable. The seats are racing oriented only. see full Mazda RX-8 review |

2003 | 4dr SUT 285-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Power adjustable leather seats, adjustable pedals, with driver memory for positioning of all that. Seats were still comfortable after twelve hours of driving, with two 20 minute breaks. see full Chevrolet Avalanche review |

Three real adults can sit there for hours. Large under-seat space to store backpacks, jackets, etc. Very effective A/C in rear. see full Chevrolet Avalanche review |
