Had heard that the seats of the car were amongst the most comfortable and they really are. Not to mention the adaptability to body contour, especially as I am on the bit healthier side. The control panel layout and other gadgets are aesthetically laid out see full Volvo S80 review |

seats in rear are tight, they do not slide or recline where as Honda CRV rear seats are much more flexible for kids and families. My crv is 2007 and the rear seats recline and the entire bench can slide front and back to create instant leg room see full Mazda CX-7 review |

Tested CX-7s with both cloth and leather seats. Both materials thin and not supportive. Cloth seats lumpy with uneven feeling surface. see full Mazda CX-7 review |
