TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Mini Clubman

2012 Mini Clubman Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Even with the rear-hinged "club door, " the Clubman's rear seat is difficult to get into and out of. The Veloster's third door is considerably larger and more usable, while the Fiesta has four real doors. The Veloster also has much more rear legroom than either the Mini or the Ford, both of which are a tight fit for adults. Compared to the Hardtop, though, the Clubman is significantly more practical. I can sit behind my 5-9 self with a little knee room to spare. Rear headroom is abundant. Even if you're not going to put people in the back seat, the extra door eases access to anything you're storing in the rear seat. When traveling in the RX-8, my father and I frequently use the rear doors to stow and retrieve hiking boots and daypacks. The same might be done with a computer bag or briefcase when commuting. Both the Veloster and the Clubman would benefit from a second rear-hinged door, on the driver's side. see full Mini Clubman review

2006 Mazda Mazda3 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Lots of leg space & head room, and seat adjustments possible. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2007	4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Very sporty seats, excellent lumber support. Seats will ensure that you stay where you are supposed to be, even in tight cornering. After a straight 12hr trip, the seat still feels comfortable. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2006	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	For a small car there is more than adequate leg and shoulder room for two average sized adults. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2006	4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	One of the very few small cars which have a telescopic steering wheel - great for switching between short and tall drivers, pedals placed well for comfort, gear shifter just the right length, and clutch is goldilocks as well - just right. see full Mazda Mazda3 review

2006 Mazda Mazda3 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Rear seats are really small and tight legroom. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2007	4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The Mazda 3 has very limited footroom except when the driver is of very small stature.it helps somewhat if you puchsae the model with the height adjustable seat.seat fabric on the none leather models goes bally,and becomes difficult to clean!! see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2007	4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	This IS a smaller car. That being said, if the front seats are all the way back, people in the back had better sit Indian-style on the seats. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2006	4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Front seats are very uncomfortable. The side bolsters are hard and push your shoulders forward. The seat bolsters dig into your leg on the left side. The head restraints push your neck and head too far forward. The seat bottom is too hard. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2006	4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	small rear seat for adults see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2006	4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	If you are over 6 foot like me, make sure you are not in the back. That simple. The folding seats on the hatchback are flexible though for longer items. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2006	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The rear seat is very comfortable for small to average sized people, even for long trips. However, those with long legs will find themselves cramped for legroom. The low roof in the back adds to that cramped feeling. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2006	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Not a lot of room for four large adults. In a pinch I have squeezed five in, but for short trips. Trunk opening is oddly shaped and often I find myself loading/unloading through the lowered rear seats for larger items. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2005	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	the leather is cheap and the seat is not comfortable see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2005	4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	There is none. Its rediculous how little rear leg room there is given the size of the car. My much smaller Mazda Protege that this replaced had substantially more. And don't even think about getting a rear facing car seat back there. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
