Outstanding. I'm 6'0 & only have the seat 1/2 way back. Lots of front & rear seat room. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review |
TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Mazda Mazda3
| 2015 Mazda Mazda3 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| The Mazda3 also isn't a clear choice if a roomy rear seat is a top priority. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, I had little room to spare. The rear seat in the Ford Focus is at least as tight, but has a more comfortably positioned cushion. A Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra, or Toyota Corolla has far more rear seat room. If you like how the Mazda3 looks and drives, but need more rear seat legroom, the Mazda6 offers another three inches for another $2,100 to $3,700 (depending on trim level). see full Mazda Mazda3 review | ||
