2009 | 4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I can adjust the seat back so I can reach all controls with just arm movement. I can raise the seat so my thighs are fully supported right out to my knees. see full Toyota Yaris review |

For the size of car, there is a lot of front seat room see full Toyota Yaris review |

Ride position too low. see full Toyota Yaris review |

Ha ha ha ha! Perhaps a small dog would be comfortable back there. The only good thing about the back seat is that I've read it is not too hard to remove it entirely! see full Toyota Yaris review |

Not comfortable to sit in for more than an hour. see full Toyota Yaris review |

The back seats are extremely cramped when slid forward. They must be slid forward when a non-tiny amount of cargo needs to be put in the back. see full Toyota Yaris review |

Small in the back, but the seats can adjust, recline and fold down for cargo. see full Toyota Yaris review |

incofortable even for only two adults. The passanger in the center will be very inconfortable when tree passengers are in rear seat. see full Toyota Yaris review |
2017 Mazda Mazda6 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Mazda6 has one clear disadvantage compared to the Honda Accord: a much less roomy (if comfortable) rear seat. There are at least three more inches of knee room in the back seat of the Honda, a dramatic difference. Mazda redesigned the Mazda6's front seats for 2018, aiming to make them wider and more comfortable. I found them reasonably comfortable, but not exceptional. The side bolsters are on the small side for a car with some sporting pretensions. see full Mazda Mazda6 review |

Why doesn't this vehicle have heated front seats (they only cost a tenner or so at manufacturing time) and why doesn't it have electric front seats with memory (it is particularly annoying to have to try and reset the seat after the garage has had the car and adjusted it to their liking)! Again electric front seats don;t really cost anything much to build in. see full Mazda Mazda6 review |
