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
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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 Volvo C30 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2012 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
6-speed manual FWD
The front seats are wonderful. I tend to get stiff and sore when I sit too long in a car, especially my old VW GTI and our other VW Passat wagon. These seats in the C30 are very comfortable and I felt good getting out after a long drive. see full Volvo C30 review
