What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Mazda RX-8

| 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 |
| 2009 | 4dr Coupe 232-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD |
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 |
| 2007 | 4dr Coupe 212-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Excellent for long trips. Even though I suffer from spinal stenosis, I did a two-day 1800 mile trip with no troubles and felt great on arrival. Most modern cars have comfortable seats, but these also make me feel like I am part of the car. see full Mazda RX-8 review |
TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze
| 2013 Chevrolet Cruze Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| The Cruze's rear seat is among the tightest in a compact sedan, and the diesel engine doesn't affect this. Though rear seat headroom is abundant, adults will feel a bit cramped even behind a driver of average height. The Jetta's rear seat has a little less headroom but far more legroom. So the best option depends on whether your rear seat passengers have long legs or long torsos. see full Chevrolet Cruze review | ||

| 2013 Chevrolet Cruze Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Rear seat legroom is a bit tight with the front seats fully back. see full Chevrolet Cruze review |
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Unfortunately there is no leg room in the rear of the car when the front seats are a particular distant from the dashboard. So either all the people when riding in this car need to be small people like no more then 5 foot?! or you can only have two 6 foot people in it at a time. needs serious improvements there! see full Chevrolet Cruze review |
