| 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 |

I am 6 foot tall, 250 lbs and have plenty of room in the front seat. The driver's position holds me well and i do not feel like i am falling out of the seat when cornering. The passenger seat sits higher than i want, but there is plenty of room there as well. see full Toyota Corolla review |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Small and cram even for 5ft 6in male. Can pull back seat for more comfort but makes back seat even less comfortable and cram. see full Toyota Corolla review |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Since front seat feel cram at initial spacing it cause most front seat user to pull back seat for more comfort but makes back seat even less comfortable and cram. see full Toyota Corolla review |
