What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser

2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Adults do not fit well in the back seat comfortably, and the rear access doors, while a cool design, lack functionality(no handle to release the door except on the inside) see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2008	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Too stiff and too upright with no adjustments see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Difficulty entering/exiting rear passenger area see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	It is uncomfortable, small, and awkardly designed. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Back seat is not built to have adults riding there. May be ok for children but is difficult to put a child seat in the rear as well. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual AWD w/low range	Cramped rear seating - putting 3 people back there would be really pushing it. The only bonus is that the rear seats fold down flat (I love that). see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Rear suicide doors are cool - unless you have to use them. Easier than no door, but hard to access for adults or kid seats. Really a 2 person back seat, 3 is not good. Rear seat visibility is poor, front view blocked and side posts take out side view. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	too small see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review

2010 Mazda Mazda5 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	CAN SEAT 6 PEOPLE see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2010	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	2nd-row seat slide fore/aft and recline. Ample room even for larger passengers to be comfortable on long trips. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2010	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	6-passenger seating adequate for older teens, stows away for hauling capacity. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2010 Mazda Mazda5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	LAST ROW TOO SMALL FOR ADULTS see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2010	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Not great support in either the seat cushion or back. However, driving position is fine. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2010	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Too small for a road trip with 6 grown men. The 2nd row is tight but not uncomfortable for me (6 ft tall). The 3rd row is for children or pets only. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2009	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Not enough leg room overall in the car. As a larger driver (6'3"), I need to push the drivers seat back. So the kid behind me has to get pushed back. Well the third row can't move back, so I've I'm driving, no one can sit in the third row driver's side and have any leg room. This is the worst for kids in full-size car seats, because the seats position their legs higher and forward of where a small adult's would be with no car seat. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2009	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The six-chair setup of the 5 means that luggage space is limited, and some may find the "three rows of two" arrangement adds difficulty to monitoring children in the far rear seats. In order to carry significant cargo the seats need to be removed. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2009	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The center seats are adequate for tall adults. Judicious positioning of the front and center seats should get you better results than a subcompact. The third-row rear seats are for kids only. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2009	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The back seat is made for very small folks only. The middle row seat belts are placed somewhat far back. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
