2017 Subaru BRZ Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2017	2dr Coupe 205-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed manual RWD	The seat heaters are an absolute joke. We thought they were broken. No, they're just terrible. If you live in regular -10c weather you will want a a plug-in seat warmer. The seats themselves are fantastic for driving. Driver's seat does not slide forward when you move the seatback to access the back seat. Seems fine, who wants to reset their seat position every time. The passenger seat does get loose when you pop the seat back up, but the chair slides around loose and left to gravity, will sit at the rearmost spot. Might be nice if it could sit in a divot at the full frontmost position. see full Subaru BRZ review

2019 Mazda CX-5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	According to the official specs, the Mazda CX-5 offers about a half-inch more rear legroom than the RDX. In reality, though, the Acura has an extra inch or so. While neither is cramped, you'll find significantly more rear seat legroom in a Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, or Toyota RAV4. If you'll be putting three people in back, the Acura does have the advantage of two additional inches of shoulder room. The RDX's additional width might not be good for handling agility, but it is very good for a rear center passenger. see full Mazda CX-5 review
