2012 Volkswagen Tiguan Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Outstanding. I'm 6'0 & only have the seat 1/2 way back. Lots of front & rear seat room. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review

2017 Mazda CX-5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	There's enough room for four adults inside the Mazda CX-5. But the Honda CR-V and some others are considerably roomier. Want an occasional third-row seat? While Nissan and Volkswagen offer one in their compact crossovers, Mazda does not. see full Mazda CX-5 review
