What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Mazda RX-8

2011 Mazda RX-8 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Coupe 232-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD	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

2013	2dr Convertible turbocharged 181hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Over 6ft and I need to pull the seat up two notches. All the way back my toes touch the pedals. Yippee I fit in a small car!!! see full Mini Roadster review
