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
