2008 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
The rear seat slides for and aft making for lots of leg room or more cargo space when you need it. I also like the center armrest and upright position. see full Pontiac Torrent review |
2015 Mazda Mazda5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||

The front seat head rests are horrific. They jut out and force your head, neck and entire upper back into an uncomfortable position. I'm sure this is part of some ill-conceived anti-whiplast design, but it's awful. I'd rather risk some whiplash than drive every day with this! see full Mazda Mazda5 review |
