Rear seats are functional for adults, which is unique for a sports car. see full Mazda RX-8 review |

Adults my height (5-9) can actually fit in the back seat of the RX-8. And getting in and out is aided by a second set of rear-hinged doors. Other sports cars have no rear seat or a very small one. see full Mazda RX-8 review |

It is good enough to take adults for short distances, children as far as you can stand them. Footroom is the tightest dimension. The narrowing sides and small windows make claustrophobics nervous. see full Mazda RX-8 review |
