YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 Superior to other minivans in ease of entry, available legroom, and comfort. see full Nissan Quest review
2007 4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Mazda RX-8

2006 Mazda RX-8 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Coupe 212-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Excellent for long trips. Even though I suffer from spinal stenosis, I did a two-day 1800 mile trip with no troubles and felt great on arrival. Most modern cars have comfortable seats, but these also make me feel like I am part of the car. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2006 4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed manual RWD		 Rear seats are functional for adults, which is unique for a sports car. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2005 4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed manual RWD		 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
2005 4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed manual RWD		 Unlike most sports cars, the RX-8 has a rear seat that adults can get into (using rear doors) and fit into. see full Mazda RX-8 review
2006 Mazda RX-8 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2005 4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2

2005 4dr Coupe 238-horsepower 1.3L R2
6-speed manual RWD		 it is POSSIBLE to fit an adult in the back...but really anyone over 10-12 years old will be uncomfortable. see full Mazda RX-8 review
