2006	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The STANDARD leather seating surfaces on the 2006 front seats - way better feel than artico leather. The adjustment range to get things just right and the head rest. Very cozy. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment

2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great, height adjustable driver seat, with good lumbar support. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Second row seats have lots of room, can slide fore and aft, and can recline. The passenger seats up in a chair-like posture, with great support for thighs. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Tons of rear seat room, and the second row seats can slide back/forth and recline. Third row is reserved for small children, however. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The rear doors are the sliding type, which is the most practical (and brilliant) type of rear doors for children. I also like the fact that the middle seats recline and slide, they have storage under the cushions, and a third row of usable seating! see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Flexible layout. Individual captains chairs in the middle row provides ample space. 3rd row is best left for kids under pre teens, but a short trip would be ok for adults. 2nd and 3rd rows seats can be folded down flat individually. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2006 Mazda Mazda5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	With the seat all back, there is not much room for anyone over six feet tall. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Tight fit once the front seats are slid back. Third row is useless if the second row is slid back. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
