What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2007 Mazda RX-8

2007 Mazda RX-8 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
2006 4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed manual RWD		 Rear seats are functional for adults, which is unique for a sports car. see full Mazda RX-8 review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 These seats desperately need more lumbar support. They're okay in short distances, but I really want the Recaros from the Evo a few hours in. Stronger side bolsters would be nice for hoon duty, too. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review
