2006 Volvo S60 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed automatic FWD	Not enough rear seat legroom for a car in this class. see full Volvo S60 review
2005	4dr Sedan turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Minimal rear seat leg room. Our kids are 9 & 8 - we are having to look for a replacement car as they are getting too big for this one. To offset the front seats are as comfortable as I have experienced in a car. Now considering an S80 or XC70. see full Volvo S60 review

2006 Mazda Mazda5 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Rear seats fit adults or kids in car seats adequately, especially for an economy car. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great, height adjustable driver seat, with good lumbar support. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Second row seats have lots of room, can slide fore and aft, and can recline. The passenger seats up in a chair-like posture, with great support for thighs. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Tons of rear seat room, and the second row seats can slide back/forth and recline. Third row is reserved for small children, however. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Can easily and comfortably seat six (6!) adults in a small package with storage space remaining. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The rear doors are the sliding type, which is the most practical (and brilliant) type of rear doors for children. I also like the fact that the middle seats recline and slide, they have storage under the cushions, and a third row of usable seating! see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Very practical and roomy for the size of car. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	six seats, what else can i say see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Flexible layout. Individual captains chairs in the middle row provides ample space. 3rd row is best left for kids under pre teens, but a short trip would be ok for adults. 2nd and 3rd rows seats can be folded down flat individually. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2006 Mazda Mazda5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	With the seat all back, there is not much room for anyone over six feet tall. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Tight fit once the front seats are slid back. Third row is useless if the second row is slid back. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
